Thanks to everyone for your help.. I've decided to try the final coating with both butter and the coconut shortening mixed..
For the small amount that the recipe calls for, I can't see it turning out that bad.. (well, I hope so anyway!)
quatan..
I love to try 'other' stuff.. Be it strange or 'weird' shortenings, oils, spices, some funky ingredient I've never seen before, whatever..
That's what makes baking and cooking so much fun for me.. It's an adventure into somthing new..
I'll see or read about an ingredient that's unfamiliar, and just have to give it a try.. How can one not?
Where would this world be without different ingredients to try? Can you imagine watching cooking shows, or reading cookbooks that had the same basic ingredient for everything??
You know, I've tried many many things over the years.. I've come up with some not so nice results, but I've also come up with some wonderful results!
I love to learn.. For me its all just fun..
