No, use the same amount.
Crisco brand butter shortening contains butter flavor, while regular Crisco brand shortening does not. This gives the butter shortening a buttery taste that the regular shortening lacks. Both can be used interchangeably in recipes that call for shortening.
Yes, you can substitute lard or shortening for butter or vegetable oil in cookies, as long as you realize the resulting cookies will not have a buttery taste. Crisco has a butter flavored shortening that works and tastes quite well, although you might consider the health risks of the partially hydrogenated oils in any shortening. Lard is a fine substitute, with good flavor results. You can also replace the butter flavor with additional vanilla or other flavor extracts.
yes! it is gluten free
Yes. The cookie texture will be the same, although the taste will not be as buttery. For a cookie with good flavor like oatmeal cinnamon raisin or chocolate chip, you won't notice the difference. You could also use unsalted butter instead of Crisco if you don't have any health concerns about butter. Butter flavoring works, but is a substitute flavoring, and real butter as an ingredient has better flavor than substitute flavorings.
Yes, but the flavor will be altered and not have the butter flavor from the butter flavored shortening
i don't believe so
Oh, dude, you can totally use butter flavored Crisco instead of regular Crisco for cookies. It might give your cookies a little extra buttery flavor, but like, it's not gonna ruin them or anything. So, go ahead and get your bake on with that buttery Crisco, no big deal.
Any solid shortening will work. The finished product will vary a little bit in flavor, but should be acceptable. For tea biscuits, I would use butter or margarine for flavor. Crisco or other vegetable shortening will work but I would stay away from animal fats.
Yes. It makes the cake taste better. Gives it a richer flavor and texture.
Usually it doesn't really matter what type of solid shortening you use. Flavor may be a consideration, but it should perform alright. In some recipes it needs to be one or the other.
Butter provides better flavor, no question.
When a cake recipe calls for shortening, you can substitute it with butter or margarine for a richer flavor, but the texture may be slightly different. Vegetable oil can also be used, but it will change the cake's consistency and moisture level. If you have Crisco (a brand of shortening), it's the best direct substitute. Overall, the choice depends on the desired flavor and texture of the cake.
