More answers Vegetable Shortening Substitute Asked by narrisca. Full question Dear Nigella Team, I am really looking forward to making the lovely shortening recipe. However, I have not been able to find vegetable shortening in any grocery store. Can I use butter or vegetable oil as substitute?
Our answer Vegetable shortening is a white, solid fat made from vegetable oils. In the UK it is sold under the brand names Trex, Flora White or Cookeen. In the US Crisco is the best known and there is also an organic solid vegetable shortening made by Earth Balance. In Australia the best known brand is Copha. Vegetable shortening gives the scones and also pastry a flaky texture which butter cannot replicate. It is usually used in combination with butter to give the best combination of flakiness and flavour.
Vegetable oil is not s great substitute as it is too liquid and so cannot be rubbed or cut into the flour. Lard is the best substitute if you don’t mind animal fats. If you can’t get any of these then butter can be used but the texture of the scones will be slightly different. Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features!
