Cutting down fat (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shortening

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cutting down' is the first definition.
(shortening is a kind of cutting down)

'fat' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for shortening that I've seen before include "fat used in pastry" , "Cutting out" , "reducing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
