I missed you tonight but I’ll catch you next time your on I love watching your video’s

Alternative to shortening is butter.

Checked the comments on The Pioneer Woman – looks like plenty of people have tried it, and its worked out fine!

Shereen, thanks for your comment.
You could probably replace the shortening with butter, but you’ll get a different outcome. I’d check out the original recipe on The Pioneer Woman’s website, Ree Drummond to see is she comments about using butter.
Also, because of time constraints, I only list my recipes in cups and tablespoons. You can do a Google search for converting them to grams and it will tell you exactly how much you need.

Sidra,
good question. I haven’t made them with shortening, but you could try. I would check on Ree Drummond’s site, The Pioneer Woman, to see if she says anything about that as that’s where I found the recipe.
If you make them with shortening, please let me know how they turn out.
