Maybe throw some chopped herbs into the dough?<br /><br />Katrinakatrinahttp://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850166433308945299.post-21041233906595699822009-08-03T05:19:33.249-07:002009-08-03T05:19:33.249-07:00I love your blog!

Wha...I love your blog! It is such an inspiration!<br /><br />What do you think of the idea to substitute cream for the milk in the piecrust recipe to make it richer?<br /><br />Also, if you do come up with a good olive oil crust for savory pies, would you share the recipe with us?

I agree that puff pastry especially is sent from heaven, and there are reasons WHY it makes such a delectable crust. Still, I agree with the Globe critic that it's flaky and tender, though I'm not sure I'd say it beats classic butter puff pastry, or butter& lard. Also think it's great for folks on a dairy-free diet.katrinahttp://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850166433308945299.post-64006611365042364412009-07-17T10:22:52.206-07:002009-07-17T10:22:52.206-07:00An oil crust offends the gods of pie! It's SO ...An oil crust offends the gods of pie! It's SO WRONG. The whole point of using chilled butter and lard/shortening is that you have these chunks of fat which get ironed flat in the rolling. This fat will melt while baking, forming distinctive flaky layers. Oil crust would be just... wrong. And not flaky at all.Alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272582284640073612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5850166433308945299.post-62934797065531890452009-07-16T20:22:37.060-07:002009-07-16T20:22:37.060-07:00Glad you liked, Martha!
