Your blog is very helpful. I learned about butter vs shortening which I didn’t know the difference before. I have some question which I hope you can help me... I made some Filipino pandesal bread and it requires 5 tbsp of butter. The result was a little dense when its cold but when it is hot it is soft. Can I add some (and what amount) shortening to make it tender or softer (even it is cold)? Your reply is highly appreciated. Thank you and more power.
