Baking Question

[singing w/ Clay]

Good Morning all!

Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I coulda sworn there was a cooking/food area in the FORT somewhere, but I cant find it now.

My question to you is this:

Can you substitute lard for butter in shortbread recipes?

And- is it better to use cornstarch with the flour or just flour?
( I had never heard of putting cornstarch in, but then I've only made shortbread once )

Thanks!

There IS a recipe thread at FoRT:Recipes

I've answered your question THERE.
