Madmum, you can use butter, margarine or lard in place of vegetable shortening. Probably lard will give you the closest results. Substituting the other might change the recipe a little in terms of texture. Also, if you sub butter or margarine for shortening, use a little less of any other liquid called for in the recipe.
