Do not substitute "light," "lite" or "low fat" margarine for butter in any recipe, because these products contain a lot of water and will not bake in the same way as butter.

Margarine is shortening and can be used in place of butter or other shortenings in baking, though the flavour won't be the same. In many recipes some feel the best results in texture and flavour are obtained by using butter or half-and-half butter and lard.

You can use shortening, butter or margarine, or even mayonnaise or lard in some recipes. Actually, many chocolate cake recipes call for mayonnaise instead of oil or butter.

Can margarine be substituted for butter when baking brownies?
Usually, but there are going to be a few differences. Items made with margarine may taste different, and they may not brown or crisp quite the same way. Many cooks feel butter is far superior for baking. If the food gets a lot of its flavour from the butter (as in shortbread, or some caramels), then you will really notice the difference. In a cake, you may notice it less. There are a few recipes that do not work well with margarine at all: many people find shortbread made with margarine to be unacceptable. I've seen a couple of recipes where it is stated that it wont' work well with margarine. With that in mind, you can substitute margarine for butter in most things.

Can you substitute margarine with butter for scones?
Margarine can be substituted for butter in most cases. Sometimes a recipe states that no substitution is allowed. When the recipe calls for unsalted butter it will change the taste, and then you can use less salt in the recipe and equal out. Butter does have a distinct flavor that is best in cookies, but using margarine won't change the consistency.A bit more:Margarine has a higher water content, so it won't give the same results with many recipes as butter, and can affect both taste and texture. Pie crust and some cookies are good examples of this, also many cake recipes don't allow for substitution.
