If the recipe calls for 1 cup of butter and Angie wants to triple the recipe, she will need three times the amount of butter. So, she will need 3 cups. To find out how much butter she will need to borrow, subtract 1 5/8 from 3. She needs to borrow 1 3/8 cups of butter.

Can you use margerine instead of butter in a recipe and if so how much margerine do you have to use to equal up to 2 sticks of real butter?
AnswerIf a recipe calls specifically for butter than that is what you must use. It has to do with the percentage of oil present and the stability of the product. You are only ok to use margarine when the recipe says you can do so. Or if it calls for the use interchangibly with butter.It is a one for one split. But pay attention to the water content.

If recipe calls for half cup oil how much butter do you use instead?
Butter contains some water, so for 1/2 C oil, you'll want 2/3 C butter and reduce the liquid content of the recipe by a couple of tablespoons. That's if you want to be exact--you can get away with a 1:1 substitution for most recipes, it just won't be as perfect.

The only difference would be the amount of salt you would use in the recipe. If the recipe calls for unsalted butter and you're using salted, just decrease the amount of salt used in the recipe by a very small amount. If it calls for salted butter and you're using unsalted, then you increase the amount of salt by a very small amount. By small amount, that would be about 10% of the amount called for in the recipe.
Can oil be substituted for butter?
It depends on what the oil was for. If it is a recipe, especially for baking, you can use butter as substitute for oil. It is not recommended to substitute butter to fry something because it tends to burn in a hot pan, you should use oil to fry. Yes is can! Just don't use as much oil as butter. Butter is thicker than oil so don't make it too sloppy.
Recipe calls for salted butter and I have unsalted butter?
There is not enough salt in butter to make a difference. Cook away!
