Thanks, GW!
substitute "healthy" margarine for butter
Amazing (or not) that the push for hydrogenated oils used for margarines led to a backlash; I've even seen lard recommended over vegetable oils for deep frying (not that deep-frying is necessarily a great idea to begin with). I'm a food ho, in that I'll eat pretty much whatever's put before me, but I way prefer butter, and prefer lard in pie crusts.
No, I'm not giving away the title.
LOL!

I took a baking class a few years ago, and the teacher used lard for pie crusts and many of her breads and rolls (and oh, were they delicious!). I don't use lard, but I refuse to use anything other than butter or real oils in my cooking or baking.
