How to measure shortening

If recipe calls for 1/3 cup, fill measuring cup two-thirds full of water, add enough shortening to bring water to top of cup, pour off water and you have 1/3 cup of shortening.

This is the method I was taught in my Home Ec class in 8th grade. Man, that was a million years ago! But it works and you don’t have to try to squish shortening in to a measuring cup wondering if you got it right.

I know, I know…..shortening is not good for you, but combined with butter makes the best pie dough.
