About me
I am from London with 2 small kids, and would like to expand their repetoire of dishes. I'm having a little difficulty converting the cups and 'T' - any help gratefully received.

From Cook's Thesarus:

[b]shortening = vegetable shortening[/b] Notes: Crisco is a popular brand. Substitutes: butter (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter; butter is better tasting than shortening but more expensive and has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts more crispy) OR margarine (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons margarine; margarine is better tasting than shortening, but more expensive; makes cookies less crunchy, bread crusts tougher) OR lard (1 C shortening = 1 C - 2 tablespoons lard; lard has cholesterol and a higher level of saturated fat) See also: fat (for low-fat or no-fat substitutions)

Shortening is a thick soft grease. I am sure you can use sweet butter. It a lard texture with out the after taste. I am sure butter would work. Or a unsalted margarine. I hope it works. Let me know
