No idea for the vegetable shortening I'm afraid I found this when I Googled vegetable shortening (didn't know what it was )
Q) I need to substitute vegetable shortening
A) I would use butter. For every cup of shortening substitute 1 cup + 2 tablespoons butter. This is because butter has water in it and shortening does not. But your biscuits will be good! Not healthy, but good!
I got butter in 40 supermarket yesterday, it was in the chiller under the deli counter so not on show when a lady came in & asked for it & I remembered I was getting low. It was either 27 or 29/kg I think, sorry I have thrown the wrapper away very fresh, on a poly tray weighed out in kilos but in several bits. I'm pretty sure there were smaller quantities as well.
Good luck with the cooking.

Ahhh! That's what I suspected! We have been using pure ghee since we got here for sauteeing - it doesn't scorch.
If you think back to good ol' USA - did you ever use Crisco?? Makes perfect pie crusts! Would the 'semna - palm oil version) work similarly?
Best!
