Related to Shortening
Butter
Butter adds dairy flavour and about 15% water that shortening lacks, so the crumb turns more tender but less flaky. It is heavier per cup (227 g vs 205 g), so weigh when swapping; for the closest pastry result, chill the butter well and handle the dough as little as possible. See our Butter converter.
Margarine
Block margarine is the easiest like-for-like spread swap, carrying 15 to 20% water versus shortening's none, so pastry comes out a little less flaky and closer to a butter bake. Close in weight at 235 g vs 205 g per cup; use block, not low-fat tub, margarine for baking. See our Margarine converter.
