What is shortening?
Vegetable shortening is a solid fat used for flaky pie crusts, biscuits and frosting.
Baking recipes measure vegetable shortening either by volume (cups and spoons) or by weight (grams and ounces). One US cup of vegetable shortening weighs about 184 grams, and one tablespoon about 11.5 grams. Weighing is more accurate, because how you fill a cup changes how much goes in.
Press firmly into the cup to remove air, or use the markings on shortening sticks.
