Question: When I make pastry for miniature nut tarts, there are light spots in the pastry. What would prevent this? M.P.. Palatine. IL Answer: The light spots are probably fat that did not get worked in evenly with the other ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two knives, with the blades almost touching each other. Move them in opposite directions in a parellel cutting motion. Cut in shortening until particles are the size of small peas. Question: What can 1 do to prevent milk from curdling in rice pudding? J.E.. St. Nazianz. W1 Answer: To prevent curdling, bake rice pudding at a moderately low temperature (325 degrees F). stirring occasionally. Too high a temperature or too long cooking time will cause curdling. Do you have a cooking question? Write Dear Betty Crocker. Box 1113. Dept. Bettv. Minneapolis.
