The good news is that he didn't say "crisco's better." :) I have to agree with the others,that butter really makes the best cookies and cakes. But I do use the palm shortening a lot too, especially for pie crusts and biscuits, as well as a few other baked good recipes that call for shortening. The fun part is the experimenting, to find out what fat tastes best in which recipe. :)Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-18937242917526191712010-02-07T00:08:19.470-08:002010-02-07T00:08:19.470-08:00Oh!

I haven't had a chance to use it yet but it is certainly an interesting theory - something like fractals, or something...<br /><br />Butter for me too. Except pie crust and then I'm strictly a Crisco woman.

I saw it on a thread and never knew what it was. I need to get one since I have 5 fleeces that I need to spin. It woudl be nice to know how much yeild I get from them.<br /><br />I love to bake and am strictly a butter girl. I remember using margarine when I was a kid. When I got old enough to know there was a difference, I started using butter. I do love butter!vlb5757https://www.blogger.com/profile/05444876262831798051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30398829.post-34551685733655550762010-02-06T15:59:34.090-08:002010-02-06T15:59:34.090-08:00I like all the colors but raspberry and honeycomb ...I like all the colors but raspberry and honeycomb are my favorite. <br /><br />I've never used palm shortening but I'm glad both you and leigh recommended it.

I don't bake much anymore because I eat too much of it if I do, but when I do bake, I mostly use butter....Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550786937196525098noreply@blogger.com
