vegetable shortening

Eurodicautom har intet, Gyldendals røde siger bare "fedtstof der bruge til bagværk for at gøre det sprødt".

Kan man bare kalde det "vegetabilsk fedtstof"?

agree  Christine Andersen: Traditionally, pastry is made with half butter and half lard, but margarine may be substituted for the butter, and the proportions vary (more lard, if the cook is short of butter etc.) - So 'shortening' is a good term that covers them all
