Many would say that there is no substitue for butter, but the act of substituting olive oil for vegetable oil will indeed make a biscuit. It will, however, alter the flavor. I find in baking, olive oil is not only much healthier, but it also makes the flavor of the rest of the ingredients more vivid. I would suggest using olive oil rather than vegetable oil whenever possible.

Yes, olive oil can be a substitute for vegetable oil. Also, advice is that pure light olive oil rather than extra-virgin will produce a milder, tender cake.

Can Crisco shortening be used for cakes in place of butter?

Butter or margarine for solid, I use oil in mine. About 1/4 cup of oil for 2 cups flour.More information:Lard is also an appropriate solid fat for making biscuits. Oil will produce biscuits with a noticeably different texture than those made with solid fats. However, when nutrition is a key consideration, biscuits made with oil, including olive oil, are perfectly acceptable quick breads.


Use vegetable oil instead of olive oil?

You can use vegetable oil instead of olive oil however olive oil is generally added to recipes for it's taste plus its much healthier for you, but you could use vegetable oil. Think about it this way, you use vegetable oil to cook your chips right? So thierfore it can be used for cooking in food, but think how your chips taste when you leave too much oil on them - that's the taste you'll be adding to your recipe, but, if your going to do it - try be sparing with it or add extra herbs / spices to cover the taste.
