This is what I use in place of Crisco every time to make buttercream frosting! Using 1/2 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup Palm shortening, 4 cups powdered sugar, and a few tablespoons of milk, I make banana pancakes. It has the right consistency and the shortening flavor is neutral for frosting (from Wilton recipe). Coconut oil is high in flavor and has a low melting point, so I used to use it instead.
The cooler months are when I usually pick up a few. Food should be safe to store for quite some time. Doesn't go bad.
A plastic bag and a cardboard box are used to ship it. The one I keep in the refrigerator. As a way to keep things Towards the end of the session, I sat it out for a As I do with any and all oils, even Crisco, I keep it in the fridge. The goods will stay fresh for a longer period of time if left out in open cabinets, and it will not acquire that funny taste. It is possible for oils to thicken up, but if they have been sat out for 15 or 20 minutes they will losen up. The vitamins and value of oils disappear as soon as they are This should be of some assistance. Cooking has been my passion for 54 years, and I have learned a lot along the way.

It is an odd little obsession I have, the never-ending cycle of it There is no end to my search for the perfect buttercream icing recipe. I need one that is not too sweet, is able to withstand the heat and humidity of Florida, and is still stiff enough to pipe well. I found a recipe from a chemist who claimed to have made the "perfect" buttercream icing, as well as several reasons for using this particular shortening. have ordered the recipe three times and tried it on each occasion. The taste of the icing will certainly be excellent using this shortening, however, it will make the icing so thin and difficult to pipe, and it will surely not stand up to the Florida heat and humidity that unfortunately must be faced. So I turned my kitchen into an ice box (using the AC) to add a layer of cooling to the process in order to ensure that the icing I was trying to create would not be too warm. I really like the flavor, and the shortening imparts a really silky smooth texture with such a silky smooth taste. However, I cannot recommend it to bakers who live in the same climate as me. It may work for what I need it for in another climate, but not for bakers who live in similar climates. As I continue my quest, I find the following.

This is a great product. It is only the packaging that I have a problem with. In the top of the tub, the top sort of lays on top of the tub. It does not involve a seal. Due to this, the second delivery had been opened (inside the plastic bag), and some shortening had.
I never want to go back to using Crisco. I've made everything I've made with this and it's fantastic! It is impossible for me to tell whether I made my frosting with butter or Spectrum because neither knows or can even guess what it is. This does not leave any greasy film on the mouth or a taste in it A while back I made biscuits with it as well, and they turned out to be the best I've ever made. They tasted awesome and were so light and fluffy! There is no doubt that I am hooked on this product and will continue to use and purchase this brand only.
Shortening is one of my favorite baking ingredients, but I travel a lot and I need natural alternatives. The company assures me that they are only buying from producers who are committed to sustainable organic palm oil production. I was initially concerned about the palm oil because I did not want to increase the destruction of rain forests for my cookies. I have had to adjust some of my recipes to make use of less of this shortening because it is lighter and fluffier than regular vegetable oil Pie crusts and cookies taste good when made with it.
It looks like I'm going to be a new customer. Contains no genetically modified organisms. This is a non-hydrogenated product. The materials used are sustainably The organic way. As I had hoped, this is what I got. The chocolate buttercream I just made with this scooped like it was hard and brittle, but it actually mixed Taking a bite out of my frosting is a pleasure for the first time in a long time. It is free of the aftertaste hydrogenated and soy-based shortenings leave behind. I also do not notice an oily tongue when I eat it. I am not sure if it is a placebo effect, but it is nice.
This is one to keep. Cooking with it sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to trying.
I should point out that it is not alcoholic). In summary, it was a good experience. Obviously I use high-quality Dutch cocoa, so that matters as well. )
But if I were to make vegan frosting again and the birthday person preferred shortening, this would be my go-to recipe!.
Those who follow the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) and wish to bake or make homemade mayonnaise will find this series to be an outstanding resource. Be prepared, however, if the entirety of what you order along with this product is covered in shortening when you unbox it. There is no travel packaging in the package Environmentally friendly (flimsy plastic lid/container sealed with flimsy plastic shrink-wrap (I have made a mental note to order this on its own in the future, just in case this.
