butter

Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream
Butter is a dairy product made from the fat and protein components of churned cream. It is a semi-solid emulsion at room temperature, consisting of approximately 80% butterfat. It is used at room temperature as a spread, melted as a condiment, and used as an ingredient in baking, sauce making, pan frying, and other cooking procedures. It is made by churning milk or cream to separate the fat globules from the buttermilk. Most frequently made from cow's milk, butter can also be manufactured from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks.

    Peanut Butter - how do you like it?

    Butter or Margarine?

    Margarine or vegetable spread has been improved so much it is very hard to tell the difference between margarine and butter. When cooking a recipe that calls for butter I still use margarine. Do you switch to butter or still use margarine?
