Oil as a butter substitute in baking?

paulineb54 @paulineb54 (114) • Philippines 27 Jul 10

I want to try this shortbread recipe I saw online, but the thing is I'm low on butter. I was wondering if canola oil can be used as a substitute. If yes, would it make any difference with the final product?

Would you buy a product called "Rapeseed" oil? Do you know what it is?

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14347) • Canada 4 Dec 06
