Directions: |
Directions:This is a COLD oven recipe no need to preheat to 325 degrees but you can if you want, I don't.
Bake for 1 hour
Cream the butter and the crisco with your mixer- if the butter is cold, you will have to cut it into little pieces and let the mixer warm it up as it mixes.
Add the sugar and cream again
Add 3 eggs and beat really well
Add 1 cup of the flour a little at the time, beating as you mix
Add the last 3 eggs and beat again
Add the last cup of the flour a little at the time and beat as you mix.
Add flavoring or chocolate
I use a tube pan- the one with tall round center and make sure to grease it. To make the crust crunchy on the sides- instead of flour you can use sugar. |
