Yes, but the flavor will be altered and not have the butter flavor from the butter flavored shortening
It depends on what you are making
Butter is one type of shortening. Use a cup of butter.
Butter!
Yes and yes.
yes it will curdle. High Ratio Shortening contains emulsifiers that allow it to hold a large amount of liquid without curdling. do NOT substitute regular shortening or butter into a recipe that specifically says High ratio or emulsified shortening.
Yes you can. You can use any flavor you wish but sometimes you probably should just use the flavoring suggesting but it's totally up to you. That's what wee do when we make frosting for my cakes. I am a cake decorator and we substitute flavors depending on the flavor of the cake.
Use the same amount of butter as you would shortening. In bread, a tablespoon of butter can be used instead of a tablespoon of shortening. The same amount of canola oil is even healthier.
use butter flavored crisco You could use margarine. http://www.ukfoodies.co.uk has a delicious cookie recipe, this recipe has butter, but you could substitute it with margarine.
Yes, might taste a little different but still delicious!
It depends on the recipe. Butter has a lower melting point than shortening. In frosting, this means would cause the frosting to loose body and become soft. Cookies would tend to spread a little further when baked. The is usually a reason for the shortening. Sometimes it doesn't matter, some times it does.
Depending on the recipe, It should work. Shortening was used as a replacement for butter along tima ago to reduce the price of products and to use up shortening or lard. Try to taste the finished product in your head and see if butter would go with the product. Chef Frank
Yes, butter can be substituted for shortening in most recipes. The resulting product will have more intense flavor, but may be a bit flatter or thinner. When using salted butter, one should also reduce the additional salt called for in the recipe.
