Fat reduction (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shortening

I believe this clue is a double definition.

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

'reduction' is the second definition.
(shortening is a kind of reduction)

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

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
