Rainy Day Foods Shortening Powder 50 lb. Bag

Our dehydrated shortening powder is a versatile powder that is a great way to incorporate fats into your diet. Shortening powder is great to use for your pie crusts and other baked goods. Shortening powder is great for making baked goods, such as brownies and bar cookies. Shortening powder stores longer than regular shortening so it is great to have on hand. The one drawback is that you cannot use it to fry foods.  This is a need for your long term storage.

Shelf Life: Should be stored in cool dark place, optimum condition is 60 degrees or less for longer storage. Storing properly in our enameled cans and Super pail buckets, product may store 3-5 years. Bulk products need to be repackaged for long term storage.

Directions: Dehydrated Shortening powder is 70% fat whereas shortening is 100% fat.  Adjustments may need to be made for recipes and mixes requiring fat.  For every 16 oz. fat needed you will need to add 21 oz. powder. Adding a small amount of oil to powder may be sufficient to get desired results. This powder works well when added to rolls, breads, cookies, and cakes. For making mixes, add dry product using equal portions. Example: ½ cup shortening is equal to ½ cup shortening powder. Add 1/3 cup increased liquid (water or other). You may need to adjust amount of water added for desired consistency. For enhanced texture and flavor, add 1 tsp. of vegetable oil.  When used in baking keep batter moist as it will dry during baking process.
