Any recipe that calls for shortening can be made with dehydrated shortening powder (not recommended for deep-fat frying). Shortening gives baked goods a light, fluffy, and flaky texture. In frying, sprinkle some powder into the pan.
The powder quickly turns into liquid shortening when the pan heats up (ideal for pan frying). Powdered shortening can be mixed with other dry ingredients when baking. Everyday cooking can be made easier with shortening powder.
It is perfect for home bakers and cooks who want the convenience of shortening but without the bulky container. It is also ideal for people who are preparing for emergencies or who want to store food for long periods.
Backpackers and campers who want to save space and weight in their packs.
Instructions: To obtain optimum texture, add 1/3 cup water to ½ cup shortening powder and mix well. For added texture and flavor, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Also can be used in any recipe that calls for shortening.
Shelf Life: 3-5 years sealed under ideal storage conditions (cool,dry place)
I've tried other egg powders and this one is by far superior. I have used it in baking - works great. I have tried it straight up as scrambled on the stove - delicious. I would love to use this exclusively instead of running to the store for fresh eggs, but the price point of Safecastle doesn't allow for that. Wish they could bring down the price some.
