Today I decided to make Grandma's almond crescent cookies from the Cooking on the Prairie cookbook. The first ingredient is 1 cup shortening half butter. Having no idea what that means, I flipped the page and saw another recipe that said shortening or margarine or butter. So I just used 1 cup of butter. I hand rolled the dough "pencil thin" and made the crescents. They turned out looking like sickly shrimp. They were a little brown too. I drenched them in powdered sugar and they tasted ok. But, Zion, my sweet tooth, threw his at me after the first bite.
I will just have to try again another time. :(
Eldon, I have a website all ready for you. I just need pictures to fill it.
