Accept No Substitutions
There is no substitution for the flavor and performance of butter. Margarine, shortening and other alternatives are just no match for the real deal (big and margarine-y chocolate chip cookies just doesn’t have the same ring to it—so try our Test Kitchen’s favorite big and buttery chocolate chippers).
Also, because baking is very precise, it’s crucial not to alter recipes that call for butter. This ingredient plays an important role in the flavor, texture and bake of all sorts of recipes.
If you find yourself without butter, don’t reach for a tub of margarine—just try some butter-free recipes and make sure to add a few pounds of the good stuff to your grocery list.
