It should work

More or less. Shortening reacts differently than butter in cooking and baking, so you will get a slightly different result when using a substitution.
shortening is like butter 1 cup of shortening is equal to 1 cup of butter
Yes, you would only make changes if substituting shortening for butter, in which case you would add 6 teaspoons of water to the 1 cup of shortening to replace the 1 cup of butter.
Just melt your shortening until you have one cup. Let it cool before using. It's the same thing.
yes because the shortening is just like butter 1 cup of shortening is like 1 cup of butter tell me how the frosting came out =)
1/2 a cup of butter is equal to one whole stick of butter
To convert shortening to butter in a recipe, use a 1:1 ratio. This means for every cup of shortening, you can substitute an equal amount of butter. Keep in mind that butter has a higher water content than shortening, so the texture and flavor of the final product may be slightly different.
3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon 8 tablespoons in 1 stick of butter. 3x8=24x2=48 48 teaspoons in 2 sticks. 2 sticks equals 1 cup.
One stick of butter = 1/2 cup.
NO. Oil and shortening do not work the same way in recipes for breads, whether it is rolls or biscuits.
if a peanut butter recipe call for vegetable oil 1/3 cup and I only have 1/4 cup can I melt crisco shortening and add to the vegetable oil.
If it is 1/4 cup or less, however, you can replace 1/2 the amount of shortening with a nut or seed butter. It will alter the taste & may have a strong tahini flavor. Almond butter or raw cashew butter may be more favorable. Some recipies do well with 1/4 cup tahini and no shortening, but replacing half the amount of remaining shortening with applesauce.
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
