3/4 cup butter or margarine= 3/4 cup Crisco shortening + 1 Tablespoon + 1 1/2 teaspoons water

Butter 1 cup = * 7/8 to 1 cup hydrogenated fat plus 1/2 teaspoon salt

Well, vegi shortening is much healthier than butter but it doesn't taste so good!. Try normal shortening, like crisco!. Good luck with your baking!Www@FoodAQ@Com
