Recipe for Danger

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.

In a related story, Better Homes and Gardens is pulling this month’s issue due to complaints over its recipe for hemlock stew.
