Q: Can I replace oil with butter in recipes when cooking?

A: Absolutely! Oil is 100% fat and butter is about 80% fat and 20% water. So for best results, add a little extra butter. This way you don’t lose the moisture you’re accustomed to when using vegetable oil. Just melt the butter or allow to sit until fully at room temperature and completely soft before you add it to your recipe.
