baking pies with VCO? - Chris?

[Guest guest]

Anyone ever try to bake something like a pie crust with VCO? I know

crisco and lard make nice flaky crusts, but I just _can't_ bring

myself to use them. :/

 

I found some gorgeous strawberries at the Songtan open air market and

I want to make a pie. I thought using VCO and butter in a crust might

be tasty - any thoughts or ideas?

 

And how were the muffins Chris? I think I'll have plenty strawberries

left over.

 

Thanks

Ya now I haven't tried making a pie crust with the VCO yet? I've made

all butter pie crusts and pie crust with canola oil a long time ago, and

I know that one can use Palm oil just like shortening .... but haven't

tried the VCO yet (now I have a whole buncha apples here, might have to

give it a go this weekend!)

I'd say to go for it!

They came out great. They're not a super sweet muffin (I prefer it not

super sweet for breakfast), so if you want sweeter muffins, add more

sugar to the recipe (or some honey or maple syrup even). I was going to

have one this morning, but I tied the last 2 up in a plastic bag and

between them being so moist and it begin so moist here it went icky

already *sigh* .. so I have more muffin making to do this weekend. I

think this time we're going to do strawberry with banana ...

My pleasure!

 

Well, I've got to get the kids ready to go to the pool! I'm off for most

of the day!
