Crusts made with any kind of oil have nothing worthwhile to offer compared with lard and butter. Perhaps if the flour is stored in an air-tight container (e.g., a large canning jar), you won't have a problem with it being overly moist or dry. ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
