Best Answer

Using butter means that the cake will turn out exactly as the person who designed the recipe intended. Using oleo spread should still mean that the cake turns out in a relatively similar way, possibly with a slightly different taste. However, spreads and margarines contain a higher water content than butter, which means you need to remove some liquid from the rest of the recipe in order that the batter is the correct consistency before baking.

I should also point out that any kinds of spreads/margarines should not be used for "buttercream icing" or similar, since they tend to leave a cloying/oily film on the tongue in a way which butter does not.

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.

Can I replace 1 stick of butter in cookies instead of 1 stick of Crisco?

Yes. The cookie texture will be the same, although the taste will not be as buttery. For a cookie with good flavor like oatmeal cinnamon raisin or chocolate chip, you won't notice the difference. You could also use unsalted butter instead of Crisco if you don't have any health concerns about butter. Butter flavoring works, but is a substitute flavoring, and real butter as an ingredient has better flavor than substitute flavorings.

Can you substitute butter and shortening?

If you want a substitute for healthy reasons, I suggest using coconut oil. It's good for you and tastes good. Otherwise, organic's always better!Butter is shortening. It's also a natural product without - in most countries - artificial additives enhancing its flavour or colour, unlike margarine, which cannot be made without various additives.If you must use margarine or oil as shortening your recipe will end up acceptable, provided you check your quantities carefully, but it won't be the same as if it was made with real butter.
