Preparation & Use

For flaky pie crust, cut one stick of cold Crisco Butter Shortening into the flour and salt mixture using a pastry blender or two forks until the pieces are roughly pea sized, then add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together. For cookies and cakes, let the sticks soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before creaming with sugar. Each wrapper is marked at the tablespoon line so you can cut off exactly what a recipe calls for and return the rest to the refrigerator. Store unopened packages in a cool, dry place; once opened, wrap remaining portions tightly and use within a few months for best flavor.

Applications

Common applications include pie and tart shells, drop and rolled cookies, layered biscuits and scones, pancake and waffle batters, buttercream and decorator frostings, cornbread, pound cake, shallow pan frying, and greasing bake ware. The butter flavor pairs well with fruit fillings, chocolate, vanilla, and spice based recipes where a rounded, dairy note improves the finish without adding actual butter’s water percentage.
