Hi
New to the forum. I just discovered it while I was searching for information about an ingredient. Plan on becoming an active member!
I have an old recipe for creme puff pastry and it calls for an ingredient called "compound" It is in a small collection of old recipes from the 20's.
I originally thought it might be baking powder or soda but htose are identified as such in other recipes from the same collection.
Does anyone have an idea?? maybe a type of butter since the recipe doesnt have butter in it! Maybe a crisco type shortening. I dont see shortening listed elsewhere in the recipes.
Thanks for your help
Mindy
