The food police will not be ruining my pie crusts. If I am out of Crisco, I will use a mix of butter and lard. There is a lard brand that is sold on Amazon with very high ratings from long time bakers.

Good to know. I used to use lard, but the quality was wildly inconsistent. One pound would be rock hard and the next would be very, very soft. I'll have to look up the lard on Amazon.

I use Crisco for all my cookie, cake and pie baking.  I've tried other brands but always return to Crisco.

 

My niece owns a restaurant with a bakery and uses Crisco for all baking needs:  pies, cakes, cookies, bread, muffins, sticky buns, etc.  If it's good enough for her it's good enough for me.  Heart
