Winnie Mc Intyres Pie Crust Recipe


Winnie Mc Intyres Pie Crust Recipe
This is the tastiest, flakiest, most tender pie crust you will ever make. Also, unfortunately, it's a bit unheathly as it uses lard. Lard is necessary for 3 things......making a really wonderful pie crust.........making exceptional French fries ..... More

Love, love tender flaky pie crust pastry...and I like to try many different recipes! I use different crusts with different pies. Thanks for sharing. :)


Yes, unfortunately, lard DOES serve its purpose sometimes :) My mother-in-law, who lives in Scotland, would NEVER use anything else -- and she can't understand why we would over here.. :)
(Of course, this comes from a country that claims Deep Fried Mars Bars as their invention ... :)


I agree, lard does serve a purpose. I have experimented and I enjoy a really good pie crust made with lard. Thanks Pat ;-)


Great one..Can I substitute lard with butter??
