Melt the butter & measure the amount it needs. If it needs 2/3 cup oil, use that much melted butter.
Half a cup of melted butter is the same as half a cup of crisco. -Except it will taste better.
That would be 8 oz of oil
If you are substituting oil for butter in baking use about the same volume.
A half cup of melted butter is equivalent to a half cup of vegetable oil. Added: One stick of butter usually is the same as a half a cup but usually would need to add bit more since butter is entirely fat like oil. 80fat/20water is butter while oil is 100%.
Equal, 3 Tbsn of oil = 3 Tbsn of butter. Enjoy!
