I saw a demonstration of this recipe on the news last night..it literally EXPLODES!
The recipe calls for boiling the shortning and water for five minutes...but after three...it erupts! Several ladies have been BADLY burned!

Recipe for Danger
Wed Mar 31, 7:56 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



NEW YORK (Reuters) - Attention cooks -- a recipe for rolls in the current issue of Southern Living magazine could be hazardous.



The magazine, published by Time Warner Inc.'s Southern Progress Corp. subsidiary, said it is alerting readers about potential dangers from a recipe for icebox rolls in its April issue. The magazine said it has requested the removal of all copies of the April issue from newsstands.


"It has been determined that heating the water and shortening, as described in the recipe, is potentially dangerous and may pose a fire and safety hazard," the Birmingham, Alabama-based magazine said in a statement.


Southern Living said 12 of its roughly 2.4 million subscribers had contacted the company with concerns about the recipe. A corrected recipe is available on the southernliving.com Web site.

Sherry, thanks for this article. Southern Living is Holy Writ as far as I'm concerned. I have this issue, and now I'm very interested in trying these rolls, just to see what happens. I'll keep the local fire station alerted though.

Speaking of Southern Living, my mother was a total SL freak. Up until a few years ago, she had every issue of it--indexed--since 1978. I'm not sure what she did with them, but they used to take up rows of bookshelves in their hallway.

Exploding rolls ... hmmm.

I guess I should probably not try the Al Quaeda biscuit recipe somebody sent me either, huh? I couldn't find the "Jihad powder" it called for anyway.

Hell, you're a scream! http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I received my card in the mail today warning about this recipe. Southern Living (genuflecting http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif) is taking this problem very seriously ... and well they should.
