We have confirmed she used a soy-based butter-flavored shortening![/quote]
It’s the soy. [/quote]

I’m guessing it’s Crisco butter flavored shortening. The first ingredient is soy oil, followed by palm oil. Pure junk.

Barf.  Cannot believe people would willing put this in anything they are baking.  I wouldn’t feed this to a dog.  In fact, it would probably give the dog the worst diarrhea ever. I don’t care how light and fluffy it makes baked goods, it is garbage.  Grandma didn’t know any better (or used real rendered animal fat, which is at least is natural), but we know better than to be eating this crap now. [/quote]

“Grandma” likely “knew better” but had to make do with what was available during times of scarcity. Get off your high horse. We got a nasty preview of scarcity with COVID that was nothing as bad as what our grandparents lived through during wars. Be grateful and don’t disparage those who helped win the war with rationing, stepping into the workforce, making do, being grateful, and looking out for many other people besides themselves.

That said? I only use butter. But at least I’m grateful that it is available and know better than to trash and entire generation.[/quote]

Oh please.  I never had a hard time finding butter or affording it and neither did anyone replying here, or the boss’s wife[/quote]
