FAQs

Can I use butter instead of vegetable shortening?

Yes, cold butter can be used as a substitute to add a richer flavor and flakier texture. Just cut it into small cubes before pulsing with the dry ingredients.

How should I measure the flour?

For accuracy, spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off with a knife instead of scooping directly, which can pack in too much flour and affect the texture of your mix.
