Questions about Margarine-butter blend
What is a margarine-butter blend?
It combines butterfat with vegetable oils, giving it a buttery flavour while making it softer to spread than butter straight from the fridge. The exact proportions vary between products.
Can you use a margarine-butter blend for baking?
Yes, it works in many cakes, biscuits and muffins. For pastry or recipes that rely on butter’s firm texture, use a block-style blend rather than a soft spread, and expect a slightly different flavour and result.
Can you fry or roast with a margarine-butter blend?
It is suitable for gentle frying, such as scrambling eggs or softening onions, but can brown or burn faster than a high-smoke-point oil. For a very hot pan or high-temperature roasting, use rapeseed or another suitable cooking oil.
How should you store a margarine-butter blend?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean knife to avoid crumbs getting into the tub. Take out only what you need; if it softens on the worktop, return it to the fridge rather than leaving it out for extended periods.
Can you freeze a margarine-butter blend?
Most blends can be frozen, although the texture may become less smooth after thawing. Freeze it in an airtight wrapping, then thaw it in the fridge and stir or knead it before spreading.
Is a margarine-butter blend the same as butter?
No. Butter is made from milk fat, while a blend also contains vegetable oils. This blend has 14 g saturated fat per 100 g; butter-margarine blend sticks have 80.7 g total fat per 100 g, close to this blend’s 80 g.
How is a margarine-butter blend different from a vegetable oil spread?
A blend contains butter as well as vegetable oil, so it has a buttery taste; a vegetable oil spread need not contain butter. This blend provides 727 kcal per 100 g, compared with 534 kcal per 100 g in the listed vegetable oil spread.
Does a margarine-butter blend contain milk?
Yes: because it contains butter, it contains milk ingredients and is not suitable for someone avoiding milk. If you are choosing food for someone with a milk allergy, select a product clearly labelled as dairy-free instead.
