I'd heard that Americans use something called Crisco but we had no idea what that was. We only had lard, beef dripping or copha.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-44106775747422194022014-04-11T06:10:58.673+01:002014-04-11T06:10:58.673+01:00Hi Marie, it is like white flora.

I haven't had them in ages. <br /><br />Can I ask you what "white shortening" is? My gran always used lard in her scones (and they turned out so light and fluffy).

Scones usually use all butter and have a shorter texture. But whatever you call them, they're delicious and never more so than when topped with sweetened crushed berries and some softly whipped cream.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-17425902850530878772014-04-10T13:41:37.632+01:002014-04-10T13:41:37.632+01:00My mother also made these when I was growing up, I...My mother also made these when I was growing up, I thought they were scones. If she added a little more sugar, they became her version of shortcake for strawberries or stewed rhubarb.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828277633504135009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-81124897513303335102014-04-10T13:30:08.477+01:002014-04-10T13:30:08.477+01:00They look grand:)They look grand:)La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.com
