Butter! and what about Lard?

Butter is our fat of preference. Here’s why:

Butter is more flavorful than shortening and margarine. It also browns more during the baking process, which makes many baked items more visually attractive. Start using butter in your baking and you’ll never go back to another fat.

We use unsalted butter in all of our recipes. The amount of salt in salted butter is inconsistent, depending on the brand. It’s easiest to control the salt in a recipe by using unsalted butter and adding the amount of salt that is optimal for the recipe.
