Yes, you can use butter in place of lard in a cookie recipe, but it may slightly alter the texture and flavor. Butter will make the cookies richer and can result in a softer texture, while lard typically produces a flakier cookie. Adjusting the amount of sugar or flour may help achieve the desired consistency if needed.
No, making this substitution is not advisable. Lard will give your cookies a strange flavour and texture.
The amount of butter or lard in any yeast bread is going to depend on the specific recipe being followed. Lard and butter can be exchanged in the same amount in most recipes. Melted lard is the equivalent of melted butter, although technically melted butter may include some percentage of water. But that difference is not likely to affect the outcome of the bread. The main difference between lard and butter is in the taste.
The function of lard in pastries is to make your pastry nice and flaky.If a recipe tells you to use only lard, use half lard and half butter. You won't be disappointed. :)
You could use lard!
Shortening or lard could be substituted without any major change in the recipe.
You may use peanut butter. Its a good binder to hold other ingredients and it is loaded with protein.
Butter.A further response:Since margarine was developed as an inexpensive substitute for butter, butter is also a good substitute for margarine. Depending on exactly what recipe you are making, other possible substitutes might be lard or chicken fat (schmaltz), or a neutral tasting vegetable oil such as canola oil. Each type of fat will produce a slightly different baked product.
Butter is not a substitute for butter extract. Butter extract is a fat-free flavoring used when for some reason butter cannot be used. When butter is used, it should replace the fat in the recipe - shortening, oil or lard - and the butter extract will not be needed.
butter lard has more fat comparing to margarine. butter lard has 205grams of fat but whereas, margarine has only 8grams of fat.
Lard is not needed to make yeast bread. You can make excellent bread with just yeast, flour, water, and salt for flavoring. If your recipe calls for shortening or butter, substitute the same amount of lard for each. (Except for brushing the tops of the dough; butter or egg wash still works best for that.)
While generally not as healthy as butter or vegetable shortening, lard is still the best for baking recipes where the desired result is a flaky texture due to the way the fats in lard react with the proteins in flour. The difference is especially noticeable in pie crusts and some pastries, as well as biscuit recipes.
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.
