Butter or margarine? 🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐

It's all a matter of taste and what you're used to of course.

It's not that unsalted is objectively better or worse than salted.

[yo soy el mejor]

unless you're baking

I've been mostly baking chinese bread, they take more sugar than salt

Well, I've been baking with salted butter since childhood without any problems with stuff being too salty.

Most American recipes call for salt & unsalted butter. I guess it's because you don't use butter as a spread? Most NZ houses have salted butter for toast and pan frying, so it's what is on hand.

It's butter. It's never good for you. Give me the salt plus yeah only American recipes add salt later and what's the point if it's well integrated into the fat and therefore the mixture? Do we really need to fret over +/- any amount of salt?

Do you also measure the hydration of your flour (I don't)? Do you use a scale and the metric system (I do)? This is home baking, who gives a shit!!

Yeah it's an American thing to use unsalted bland "fresh" butter and also to measure by volume and not mass

Except the best recipes I've used have called for salted butter

[ohnoitsbonnie]

Traditional American pies call for lard or pigeon fat or something lol. I mean Americans used to eat turtles

Margarine for me please

no reason to ramp up the salt amounts in your food for no good reason like that. i much prefer using unaltered raw ingredients and then tweaking as necessary. and as you said it's twice as important in baking. man i miss baking.

Why isn't it ok to use salted ingredients? Do really use raw everything? This is the age of post whatever. Stop posting. That's right I called you out

I thought the margarine v butter health debate was dealt a reversal recently mainly because the causal relationships of fat/cholesterol and plaque are viewed differently now.
