Every time it says "shortening" in a recipe can it be switched with something else?!


Question:

Every time it says "shortening" in a recipe can it be switched with something else?

I heard shortening is really bad for the health... can I switch it in the recipes I find with something else?

Do I have to use the butter or whatever in the same amount it says for the shortening?


Answers:

You could substitute butter or margarine in most recipes, but some recipes can use vegetable oil or applesauce. There isn't anything I can suggest for "every" time to replace Crisco. I still use Crisco in certain recipes (like pie crust) because I prefer the results - I just don't eat as much pie as in the past.

Use the same amount of butter as shortening.
