How much butter do you use to replace melted lard in yeast bread?
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.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using butter and shortening in butter cream icing?
Vegetable shortening, being pure lipid (fat), does not have an aqueous component, nor does it have any nutrients other than fat. Butter has a small amount of water and some milk solids in addition to the butterfat. These components, though small, contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of the finished product. Shortening will work, but you may not be happy with the result: it will be greasier and leave a waxy residue in your mouth. If you do choose to use butter in a buttercream icing, may I suggest using unsalted butter. Butter manufacturers sometimes use salt to disguise a slightly lower-quality cream used as the starting product; unsalted butter likely started with a better-quality cream. Also, the amount of salt may vary from batch to batch of butter, yielding unpredictable results from batch to batch of icing. (Plus, salt is not always desirable in a sweet finished product such as icing.) Occasionally, a recipe calling for unsalted butter also calls for a small amount of salt. You may wonder, why not just use salted butter? The reason is that with unsalted butter, you are able to control the amount of salt in the recipe, since as mentioned above, salt content varies from batch to batch of butter.
How much butter do you use if a recipe calls for a cup of shortening?
