What about butter?
- legitster 9y agoButter doesn't provide the same texture as lard/shortening in pie dough (something to do with the balance of saturated fats), so butter usually only supplements for flavor.
- YZF 9y agoYou can make great pie dough with butter... We do that all the time.
- zwieback 9y agoAgree, I bought expensive leaf lard and tried it a few times in pie crusts. I much prefer all-butter crusts to lard, even 50% lard gives it a flavor I find unpleasant and the texture advantages are overstated as well.
