Show Helpful hints My rice pudding is always watery. What's the secret? Rice pudding texture depends on cooking rice separately until water is completely absorbed. Only then, add rice to remaining ingredients. Or too high oven temperature during baking may affect the pudding. Will cakes or breads turn out the same if I use shortening, margarine or butter instead of vegetable oil? For best results, use the fat stated in recipe. Substitution of liquid fat for solid fat, and vice versa, may change the balance of liquid to dry ratio. This is especially true for cakes. When a recipe says to ' 'chill' 'food, does that mean to place in refrigerator or in freezer? "Chill" means to cool, but not to freeze. For best results, place food in the refrigerator. Tip of the Week Keep peeled potatoes from turning brown by covering them with water and storing in refrigerator. Do you have a question? Write Dear Betty Crocker Box 1113, Dept.
