'''Shortening''' is a semisolid fat used in food preparation, especially baked goods, and is so called because it promotes a "short" or crumbly texture (as in [[shortbread]]). The term "shortening" can be used more broadly to apply to any [[fat]] that is used for [[baking]] and which is solid at room temperature, such as [[butter]], [[lard]], or [[margarine]], but as used in recipes it refers to a hydrogenated vegetable oil that is solid at room temperature. Shortening has a higher smoke point than [[butter]] and [[margarine]], and it has 100% fat content, compared to about 80% for [[butter]] and [[margarine]]. | '''Shortening''' is a semisolid fat used in food preparation, especially baked goods, and is so called because it promotes a "short" or crumbly texture (as in [[shortbread]]).
