Did You Know You Can Use Butter in Place of Shortening?

Did you know you can use butter in place of shortening?

Last night, I was going to make up some pizzas. I unloaded my groceries, and the yeast packets did not get put into any of the bags! So I thought I'd make up the quick biscuit mix pizza dough, but I was nearly out of the biscuit mix. So I had to make up some mix before I could do the dough. I didn't have any shortening! I looked really quickly on the internet to see if I could substitute butter. Many sites said you can use butter in place of shortening for baking. I just didn't know how it would turn out on pizza crust. I used one cup plus 2 Tablespoons butter in place of one cup of shortening. In the end, I think it turned out better than before! I may continue using butter in place of shortening in my biscuit mix!
