Calling all bakers....
Comments (17)My sympathies, Annette! I once made a crust which was like carboad, didn't know until I served it to guests. Pie looked gorgeous--tasted AWFUL, I was mortified! I've used the Crisco sticks without problem, they are wrapped like butter quarters. I use half butter and half shortening in pastry. I freeze it for about fifteen minutes after it is rolled out and in the pie or tart pan. Purified lard is available in New Mexico, one can buy it in one pound boxes. They don't even refrigerate it, stock it with the oil and shortenings. The butcher should be able to supply a hunk, if you ask for it. I ask the butcher for suet when I make my mincemeat. One has to ask early in the day, however, or it will have been tossed out with the garbage. They've always given it to me free of charge! Lorna...See MoreOutdoor Bakers Rack - its all Jeanne's fault
Comments (10)Candy, your bakers rack looks allot like mine, but your's is decorated much cuter! That was great that one turned up for you at the TS. Even though I have some garden items on mine, it also has to hold the bubble machine that was originally for our little GD, but we found out our two goldens loved to chase the bubbles too! They even go there and jump up when they want us to turn it on! LOL Karen, who knew packages could look so cute? Love the addition of the greenery on it.

Comments (2)You were making an "easy " recipe...You would have been much better just using fresh lemon juice grated rind and some water or milk...lemondae was a way of making it so you didn't have to bother with a piece of real fruit....and the self rising flour was a way to keep you form having to deal with measuring salt and baking powder. Since you had to add more flour, and didn't like the texture, I would say go back to square one. Try the recipe linked below with self rising flour rather than the flour and baking powder. I'll bet it's lots better than a recipe made with lemonade. But what's the big deal about measuring out a bit of baking soda? And then you can use what ever is left of the white lily flour for other recipes as well. Was the lemonade you made with "real" fruit? Or that powdered stuff?

Comments (26)I have been absent from this forum for so long. Lots of family issues, etc. But, so nice to lurk here. It has been so long. Nice to see familiar names still posting their wonderful recipes and ideas and tips. I'd like to comment about this cake as it has been a holiday staple for me for 25+ years. There are so many variations on this cake. I am sure they are all delicious. I noticed only one post mentions using a bundt pan. My recipe calls for a bundt pan and a Duncan Hines Supreme Yellow Cake mix. Do they even sell that any more? It also calls for Meyer Dark Rum, which compumom mentioned. I always use Meyers. Also calls for 1/2 cup oil, as most I see call for 1/3 cup. This recipe is so good, I hesitate making it unless I am serving it or taking it somewhere as I tend to eat too much of it myself. The glaze it calls for uses 3/4 cup Meyers Dark Rum and 1/2 cup water in addition to 1 cup sugar and 1/4 lb butter, brought to a boil and cooked for 5 minutes and then poured into the poked holes of the bundt cake....See More- 5 years ago
