Hello Samantha. This looks delicious, but how much palm shortening do you use? I don’t see it in the ingredient list. Also, could one substitute coconut oil? Thank you
Sorry fixed it! You could try coconut oil but it might just make a more crumbly crust which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Another option would be ghee if you are not allergic to casein.
Hi Sam,
Casein is present in butter but not in ghee. It’s a wonderful option for cooking and spreading. I don’t think anybody should buy palm oil as it destroys orangutan habitat. https://orangutan.org/rainforest/the-effects-of-palm-oil/
Thanks for all your yummy recipes. I am currently being treated for SIBO at a Naturopathic School and gave your link to the director (an ND) a couple of weeks ago. Your link is now on the students and patients’ worksheet, so I suppose you’re going to see more traffic on your website – woohoo!
Thanks for sharing I was unaware of the effects of palm oil harvesting on the orangutans. Your welcome for the recipes 🙂
thanks for the wonderful recipes, sam! i’ve always read, heard, not to heat honey as it, i believe, eithr becomes a toxin of sorts or is just very hard to digest. have u not heard this?
I have heard of this but never really looked into it before. It seems like the main cause of concern is the increase in production of a compound HMF which is naturally occurring in honey, coffee, dried fruit or any act of heating or drying foods. Here is the link to learn more https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxymethylfurfural . There doesn’t seem to be much information out there on honey specifically so I’m not convinced personally that it is anything to be overly concerned with. Obviously raw honey will give you the most health benefits because the enzymes will still be active but that could be said of any cooked food because heat inactivated enzymes.
