This recipe is foolproof...I have even substituted non hydrogenated shortening for regular and still comes out perfect. Thankyou for posting it!

<p>I have been living in SC for 18 years now and absolutely love it. I was born and raised in WV where I learned to cook from some of the best cooks I have ever known, my Mom, her Mom, my Aunt Margie, Aunt Charlotte and Great Aunt Blanche. The men in the family often said they were blessed with the best cooks. I am trying to keep the family tradition going. I love to cook and of course eat too. I have many cookbooks, some very old and formerly used by some of the ladies above. Right now I am having a lot of fun with Tyler's Ultimate cookbook especially since I got to meet Tyler Florence and have him sign it for me :)</p>
