1/4 cup butter How to select: Butter is perishable, check

the pack date at the store before you buy. Substitutions: margarine, do not substitute

whipped or low-fat butter when baking; 1 stick of butter = 8 tablespoons = 1/2 cup = 1/4 pound; To cut cholesterol and fat, you can also use oils in place of butter on a 1:1 ratio in some recipes, although texture and taste are often affected. This must simply be worked with.
