Thanks so much for your tips and tricks. Now more people will be encouraged to make whole wheat pastry which in my opinion is so much more interesting and enjoyable than the regular pastry. Although it is just as light, the extra fiber makes it more filling, so one cannot eat as much, which = less calories. I've been using KA Whole Wheat Flour to make both pate brisee and pate sucree for ages and once I mastered it, have never had any problems, and the flavor has been excellent without the orange juice. I have never used shortening because I am making a healthier product (increased fiber, less fat), so that would defeat my purpose. Over the last few years, I have even been adding flaxseed meal, oatmeal, bulgur, etc. to increase the fiber/nutrients without the saturated fat. But it's really great to see this recipe. Hope more people will try it. Thanks KA, you guys are THE BEST!! Irma from Fiber & Spice: fast food for fitness. fiberandspice.biz
