Cooking Tips |
|
*No buttermilk in
your fridge? You may substitute milk plus 3/4 t. of
lemon juice to get the same result. |
|
*Chocolate chips and
shortening can just as easily be melted in a pyrex dish
or measuring cup in the microwave. Heat a little at a
time, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is
melted and smooth.
