Can you use vegetale OIL instead of solid vegetable shortening?

Yes, you can use vegetable oil instead of solid vegetable shortening, but it may alter the texture and outcome of your recipe. Shortening typically provides a flaky texture in baked goods, while oil can result in a denser product. To substitute, use about 75% of the amount of shortening called for in the recipe, and consider adjusting other liquids to maintain the desired consistency.
