This sounds like a great recipe for my husband who is type II diabetic. I can

see using it for a quiche.

 

Could you substitute butter for the butter-flavored shortening? ?Use a

little more butter and a little more flour to account for the moisture in the

butter?

 

I am uneasy about most shortenings [ & margarines] because most still contain

hydrogenated fat. I am very careful not to serve my diabetic husband any trans

fats because of recent research that indicates that they may be implicated in

the development of type II diabetes.
