Apple/currant/brandy/molasses pie, judged...

The new recipe for pie crust I got out of one of Bill Neal's cookbooks rocked. I guess it's true: piecrust with lard just beats all heck out of piecrust made without lard.

Lard.

Well, you can have my share :-)

I prefer graham cracker/cookie crusts.
When I finally made a meat pie, I did have to use a pareve
pre-made shell (okay, maybe I didn't HAVE to), but put a
biscuit crust on top - really neat trick!

Glad you guys enjoyed yourselves!

I wonder if beef fat would work as well as lard. Is that allowed?

Biscuit crust on top of a meat pie = highly recommended. :)

I have absolutely thought of suet, and it certainly is allowed
in a non-dairy pie (no butter in the fruit, for example), but
I have never actually even seen suet - is it in a "paste"-like
state, like lard? I'm not even sure it would work, but I am
more than willing to try it.
