you can but not recommended because it sticks to the pan
yes you can, i made cinnamon muffins about a week ago and only had 20 grams of butter and i needed 100. be aware, it does make the flavour a little different but still delicious :)
Yes, you can. There are recipes for oatmeal cookies that call for vegetable shortening instead of margarine or butter.
It shouldn't. Substituting margarine for butter in cookie dough should work just fine.
The butter in buttercreme icing is just used as a flavor additive. I would be careful using margarine that may have a different taste. I would advise using a butter-flavored margarine if you decide to make the substitution.
Of course you can make cookies with margarine instead of shortening, I do it with all my cookies. When you use margarine you don't need to grease your baking pans, and I think the cookies come out more tasty.
use margarine
It is soft at room temp, which makes it easy when the recipe tells you to cream the butter and sugar together. However apart from that margarine makes fairly bad cakes; no real taste, poor keeping quality etc... If you want to make cakes with less saturated fat in than butter-based cakes, look for recipes that use oil instead of butter. But using margarine instead of butter is not a good alternative - the make up of margarine is very different to butter which affects recipes a lot.
Well, it can be. It depends on the bread. It helps so much if you make it homemade and use butter instead of margarine. Also, DON'T use bleached flour.
Whether you choose to use butter or soft margarine for a cake, all of your cake ingredients should be room temperature. Margarine or butter needs to be room temperature to make it easier to cream. If it is too cold, or too warm, the cake won't rise properly. Creaming the butter with room temperature butter or margarine allows air to incorporate into it properly.
No, it actually tends to make them harder and crispier. Margarine makes them softer.
They sell it at Shoppers in northern Virginia. Can't find it in Florida yet.
butter, margarine, olive oil, any vegetable oil
Substitute margarine for butter and applesauce for oil.
