Hi al,
I have been away for a while, but now i'm back.
I was wondering what is the diference between the vegetable crisco and the butter crisco.
I always uses the veg crisco, but now my mother-in-law has send me a butter crisco, and i don't know what to do with it.
Do i use it in my recipes like i would my veg. crisco.
Please help, thanks Caduchi

Yes you would, the only difference to me is the cost.


I use the butter-flavored Crisco for my buttercream frosting (in place of white crisco) and it does give it a better taste. I really love the sticks since it's so much easier to measure out, but I often have a difficult time finding them in the teeny grocery stores we have here in NYC.

I used butter instead of veg. and the buttercream came out yellow ....it did taste good


I noticed a stronger butter flavor when using the butter crisco. I prefer it, the only downside is if you want your buttercream to be crisp white, it will be a little more off white w/this. Ive learned not to subsitute flavors (or brand names) on ingredients, it totally throws everything off.
