recipe for brownies - PT? Question about Ingredient

[Guest guest]

Hi Kath. Shortening is solid vegetable fat, a lot like

vegetable margarine but without the buttery flavor

or yellow colors. You could use margarine just as easily

though if you can't find shortening there. It is sold in

large cans here and reminds me of lard but it is made

from vegetable oil.

The flour i used was just plain unbleached all-purpose flour.

Not self-rising or pastry flour.

Hope this helps. i'd be interested to know what you all call

shortening down under.

could tell

me what shortening is though please? It's not an item/term I have heard

before. Maybe it's called something different in OZ.
