And here I thought shortening was going to be easy enough .... I took out the brand name that they had used int he recipes. You could use butter too.
As for pastry blender ... I don't have one ... I just use two knives, and slice them together, to cut the butter or shortening into small pieces while its in the flour. This way you are not creaming the "fat", and it will leave little crumb like pieces of it in the mixture.
Truth be known ... you speak English so well, I never think of you as Dutch!!
