Depends on what you're trying to achieve.
In baking, butter supplies saturated fat and some moisture. One can substitute
shortening -- I'm not aware whether Crisco is dairy/gluten free -- and I'll bet
The Joy of Cooking gives good advice on the arithmetic of the substitution.
In frying, try olive oil instead.
For a bread spread, flavored olive oil (with herbs, pepper flakes or garlic
steeped in it) also works well. Unless you're trying to make cinnamon toast --
then you might try a lighter style of vegetable oil, sprayed on very lightly.
I'm not sure which vegetable oils would cause a reaction to someone with gluten
intolerance.
Best regards,
Stuart
