    1. I also agree but I don't think it's the font. The background is to busy and makes it difficult to read.

  19. What can I use instead of shortening?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Can you clarify what type of shortening you use. I tried butter and the donuts were not light and fluffy. Could it be I should have used crisco? Any suggestions would be appreciated

    1. Crisco would have been the way to go.

    2. Why would you use butter???? Of course they didn't turn out right. You sound like you need to learn the basics before trying intermediate recipes.

    4. WELL PINK I have been baking since I was 7 years old with my mom and to comment like you did made this person feel like she was stupid!!! maybe a better way to respond to her was.... sorry they didn't turn out .. but glad you found out that butter didn't work to save anyone else from making the same mistake... BTW Americans are not the only ones who can see these recipe's ..people from all over the world see them and not everyone knows what shortening is let alone have it...so my thoughts to you is ...you need to learn how to communicate before you type a comment!!! have a good day...

  22. Hi !! i tried this recipe but i thought 2 packets of yeast was a lot so i just put like a table spoon. in my other donut recipes i usually put very little too. but this time my dough didn't rise that much and the dough was very dense. do you know what could have gone wrong? please let me know! thank you =) and your font and flower background are totally fine! lol also do i have to knead the dough?
