Since its introduction in 1911, Crisco has become an iconic American brand synonymous with reliable baking success. This versatile shortening works wonderfully in both sweet and savory applications, making it an indispensable pantry staple for any home kitchen. Whether you're preparing traditional Southern biscuits, classic pie dough, or decorative frosting, Crisco all-vegetable shortening produces consistently excellent results. The smooth, creamy texture makes it easy to measure and incorporate into your favorite recipes, while its high smoke point makes it suitable for frying and general cooking applications as well.
For best results, keep your Crisco shortening cool before baking, as this promotes flakiness in pastries and crusts. Try using it as your base for buttery pie crusts, tender sugar cookies, and fluffy layer cakes. It's also perfect for making homemade frosting that holds its shape beautifully for decorating. Many professional bakers prefer shortening blends for achieving that perfect golden-brown exterior on fried foods. Store your all-vegetable cooking shortening in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and extend shelf life.
