Pilot Confectionery Shortening

Hot Tips

  • Pilot confectionery Shortening's high coconut content and strong, white appearance make it a superior product for chocolate extension, cold-set slices and good old chocolate crackles that won't crumble.
  • Melt Pilot Confectionery Shortening over low heat or in a microwave.
  • If coating slices with chocolate, bring the slice back to room temperature before pouring the chocolate on top for a better result.

Pilot Utility Shortening

Hot Tips

  • When making pie bases and cases, use a ratio of 25%-30% of Pilot Utility Shortening to flour weight (eg. 1 kg shortening to 4kg flour).
  • Mix the shortening through the flour before adding the water: This will ensure the flour is coated with shortening and delivers an excellent result.
