Notes
Adapted by me from this recipe. Feel free to use regular baking soda if you don’t have any sodium restrictions.
I used Earth Balance Vegan Shortening because I originally thought it might have a more heart-healthy fat content than Crisco. It turns out it doesn’t, but I do prefer the Earth Balance ingredient list at any rate. You can use whatever shortening you have on hand and it will be fine.
