What additives would you add to thicken up canola oil to be used in pastry?
You can't use oil in pastry. You need solid shortening so that you have layers of fat and flour. That is what makes it flaky. ...................... Oil can be used in making pastry, but as has been said, the resulting pastry will not be flaky, but crumbly. One can temporarily thicken some types of oil (especially pure olive oil) by refrigerating it. But the oil warms and returns to liquid state so quickly that it is not possible to produce flaky pastry with it.

What is the difference between using shorting and oil in baking?
I have found that when baking a cake or pie with oil, that the texture is much heavier and takes sometimes as much as three times longer to cook. When shortening such as butter or margarine is used, the texture of the cake will be lighter and will cook quicker, for pie pastry it will be crisper and lighter. Heavy textured cakes such as Carrot cake are better using oil. Other cakes are better when shortening is used. However, it is a matter of personal preference.
