But what does the perfect balance of butter look like, and how can home cooks avoid overindulging in this delicious ingredient? This article explores the world of butter in cooking and offers some expert advice on how to use it wisely."
I fucking love butter. Been looking for small scale dairies nearby with happy moos in pastures to try making my own. I cook with it. I put it on things. I bake with it. We usually have about 6 blocks in the fridge at any one time to replace the one not in the fridge when it gets used up. One thing I've come to realise with my cooking though, I cook like a chef, and I don't mean skill level. I mean with the levels of butter I use. I sometimes wonder if I'm using too much butter in my cooking, if my delicious food is too rich to be eaten regularly. How much should one be using for a dish? Frying an onion. Mashing some potatoes. Making a gravy. Butter butter butter. submitted by /u/BillyBlaze314 [link] [comments]
