Shortening is a fat used in food preparation, especially baked goods, and is so called because it gives a "short" texture (as in shortbread). Shortening can be made from animal fat (lard), but is more commonly a hydrogenated vegetable oil that is solid at room temperature. Crisco, a popular brand, was first produced in 1911.
