[Rob Fielding]

Can anyone tell what shortening is please?
I keep getting recipes from North America & finding strange ingredients.
Cheers Rob F

I think I've got it...doubt if I'll use shortening in my bannock as it contains high trans fats levels.

you can use butter, olive oil, lard, suet no need to use transfats
