Crisco is what the recipe is calling for and in some recipes it is important to use the real stuff. I just finished baking a batch of Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that started with a cup of Crisco. I had to go out to buy some because I don't use shortening enough for it to stay fresh. I do buy it for this recipe. Wish I had some homegrown qucchini!
for it to stay fresh.
