Crisco Vegetable Shortening is a classic vegetable-based baking fat that is solid at room temperature and melts during baking. It has been used for generations to create perfectly flaky pie crusts, tender pastries and cookies with just the right amount of crunch. Unlike butter, shortening prevents gluten development, ensuring the dough stays soft and “short” rather than tough or stretchy — essential for achieving professional baking results.
Loved across America for over 100 years, Crisco is the go-to shortening for authentic pie crusts and American-style baking. The iconic blue packaging is a staple in both home kitchens and bakeries.
Ideal for pie crusts, cookies, biscuits, cupcakes, frosting and a wide range of classic American recipes.
