They undoubtedly have baking soda, although they may call it something else. Go to the drug store and ask for bicarbonate of soda. And I'm not a fan of shortening under any circumstances. Lard will give you better results. And believe it or not, lard has more "good fats" than a lot of oils you are probably buying now because of their benefits. Sugar cookies made from lard will blow any crisco variety out of the water any day.

They have bicarbonate of soda in stomach tablets but they have some extra ingredients in them (believe me, I checked). Otherwise it's not readily available, only in the crazy expensive expat stores in Amsterdam.

Lard? Ooh, I have to try that! You just get your lard at the butcher?
