you can try using butter, although that might make the crust burn. :(
do you have any crisco? that’s shortening, but it’s not vegetable… that would probably work.

hope this helps!

um, i have no idea what that nuttelex stuff is, but unsalted butter is probably your best bet. just watch it really really carefully to avoid burning.
good luck!
