Most margarines available in New Zealand can be used for baking except those with a significant water proportion. (These water containing margarines are often marketed as 'light'.)
For sweet baking, avoid margarines that are based on olive oil or other oils which have their own flavour, as this will come through in the baked product. Canola (rapeseed) and sunflower oils are low in flavour.
Lard or Margarine
You can substitute margarine for butter in all types of baking.
yes, have done so quite a few times when i have had no butter Butter is always a better choice for flavor and texture than margarine when baking cakes.
Roast, grill, .
Cooking oil or ghee are both good substitutes.
There is a large volume of water in margarine. This will make the cookies or anything drier and most likely crumbly. You can use oil in place of margarine in most things, but not the reverse.
Yes. Margarine is basically solidified vegetable oil, so you should be able to substitute it in a cookie recipe without a problem.
the definition of creaming in baking is mixing together butter, margarine, or someohter solid fat with sugar until they are well mized making a soft consistency
Probably not. The artificial margarine and butter substitutes tend to have a higher water content than margarine or natural butter, and thus are unsuitable for baking and frying.
Margarine has water in so not a good substitute. U can however cook the water off first but still not a good substitute for baking.
Margarine is a butter substitute. In baking, I do not substitute margarine unless the receipe calls for it such as "1 cup butter or margarine". There are a lot of older receipes that call for butter, and are just plain tastier with the real stuff.
