I live in Israel and apparently the heat reduced the cows' production of milk and now I can't find anything except the fancy imported danish butter. We just had a huge forest fire- if that affected my baking supplies I'm just going to move. And I'm itching to make something delicious.... got any good non-butter-filled recipes?Mistress of Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394600428628321080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031618108458753258.post-60872865550057680142010-11-29T13:15:00.269-05:002010-11-29T13:15:00.269-05:00Oof.

I'll put it on my No Butter - Do Not Visit list. ;) Unfortunately, margarine is not a good substitute for butter since it is made from mostly vegetable oil and a lot of other chemicals that aren't good for eating, let alone baking. Your baked goods won't have the right texture - cakes need fat for tenderness and cookies will turn into big puddles without real butter. So your choices are to either move to the good ol' U.S. of A. where we have butter a-plenty, or stick with recipes that don't require it for now. So sorry!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073202432913620956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031618108458753258.post-18415262337062374522010-11-29T13:06:38.734-05:002010-11-29T13:06:38.734-05:00this recipe makes me sad that there is a butter sh...this recipe makes me sad that there is a butter shortage in the country that I live.... :( do you ever substitute margarine? does it work?Mistress of Piehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01394600428628321080noreply@blogger.com
