Shortening compounds are composed of deodorised animal and vegetable fats, mechanically blended to give a final product of acceptable elasticity and baking quality. There are two types of solid shortening compounds – general-purpose shortening and bakery shortening (emulsifier-type). Shortening is ideal for pastry, since it blends well with flour. It can be stored at room temperature for up to a year.
