Shortening is lard. I usually use the Crisco brand. If you want to substitute butter, it may be OK, but sometines the flavor and consistency will not be the same. Actually, a lot of places feel that lard is actually better in many ways than butter.

Yeah, it is used in the same way as butter, lard or margerine. It is made of oil. You can find it by those items in the grocery store.

Normally i would just say fruit, but i think both. I like the sweet taste of the fruits but i love the essence and kick the produce bring

There are many healthy fruits and vegetables. Fresh vegetables like broccoli and kale contain calcium and are packed with fiber.

You are not stupid, you wanted to know so asked, that is what Yahoo answers is for. Any fat, liquid, or solid used in pastry, dough, or batter for making the resulting product flakier, richer, or more tender. ...
