Crisco vs Margarine in Baking and Butter Substitutes
The Good Housekeeping Baking guide says margarine can replace butter in many baked goods if a solid stick margarine with 80 percent fat is used. Tub margarine and water-rich diet varieties should be avoided as they alter results. Oil is optional but only as a flavorless fat, not a replacement for solid shortening. Shortening like Crisco enhances pie crusts and yields taller cookies due to slower melting.
