Head Chef
Have you ever had a recipe you've used for years...and all of a sudden it just doesn't work anymore?
My pie crust recipe is doing this to me right now. It's been great for all the years I've made pies...(and I'm old...hehehe), but lately...they're great when they're warm...and hard when they're cold! I have never had to chill the shortening...but it's been so warm...and I'm storing the shortening in a warmer storage room than where it used to be....do you think this could be it? I haven't changed brands. I think I'll chill it and see if that helps...but wondered if you could give me your best guesses...and any of your experiences!
