Related to Margarine
Butter
The best-tasting swap: butter brings dairy richness margarine only mimics, and the two weigh almost the same per cup (227 g vs 235 g) with a similar fat-to-water ratio. Works straight across in cakes, cookies, and pastry, giving deeper flavour and a slightly firmer set. See our Butter converter.
Shortening
Shortening is pure fat with no water, so it makes pastry flakier and cakes a touch drier than margarine. It is lighter per cup (205 g vs 235 g), so weigh when swapping; add a tablespoon or two of water per cup if the recipe relied on margarine's moisture. See our Shortening converter.
