I have finally had success making pie crust. And, not only pie crust, but crust using WWW flour. I've been substituting coconut oil for the shortening. My intent was to replace shortening with a medium chain fatty acid. The result has been flaky crusts! I'm not sure if it's the lower melting point of coconut oil or some other property of the fat, but it seems to be working for me.
