Dodie Melvin says
Shortening – did you use oil or solid shortening?
Leigh Anne says
I used solid shortening
Cheryl says
Do you add all the ingredients into the hot pot? Instructions kind of vague.
Diane says
When you say shortening, do you mean Crisco?
Leigh Anne says
Diane, yes
Rachel says
Leigh Anne- do you think I can use Coconut oil instead of shortening?
MBO says
Do you think if I replaced the shortening with sour cream, this would still work?
Leigh Anne says
I have only made the recipe as written so I’m not sure, I might just substitute additional butter.
