*Application is easier than butter
*More even baking....always comes out golden
*Does not burn and leave an aftertaste like butter.
*Taste much better than regular Crisco
So when applying use a plastic bristle pastry brush. Avoid natural bristle pastry brushes unless you buy a really good quality one because the bristles come out while greasing the pans. Brush the shortening evenly over the bottom and sides. Avoid over-greasing the corners, otherwise you end up with more flour than necessary in the corners and the batter doesn't fill in the corners. Dust very lightly, shake out excess flour. Perfect every time!
So keep the butter in your cake and in your icing and try using Butter Crisco for your greasing needs.


Hi dear. I found you via mombloggers club via yr daughter's blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips. I'll try that next time. I use to grease it using butter with my fingers. Haha....too lazy to wash the brush. :P
I'm from Singapore and I love to bake too (but not very good in it). Will visit your blog for more tips and tricks ok.
See you soon.
