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.
One stick of butter is typically equivalent to 1/2 cup, which is about 113 grams. When substituting shortening for butter in recipes, you can use the same amount by volume; therefore, you would use 1/2 cup of shortening to replace 1 stick of butter. However, keep in mind that shortening has a different texture and may affect the final outcome of your baked goods.
Just melt your shortening until you have one cup. Let it cool before using. It's the same thing.
1/2 a cup of butter is equal to one whole stick of butter
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 =)
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.
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.
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.
