Questions about Regular margarine
Can you use regular margarine instead of butter in a cake?
Usually, yes: replace butter with the same weight of regular margarine. Cakes may be a little softer or less rich, so use a firm block-style margarine rather than a soft spread if the recipe relies on creaming butter and sugar.
Can you fry with regular margarine?
You can use it for gentle frying, such as cooking onions or eggs, but it contains water and can spit as it heats. For searing at high heat, use an oil with a higher smoke point instead.
Can you use regular margarine to make pastry?
Yes, if it is firm and chilled; soft tub margarine makes pastry harder to handle. Cut it into small cubes and rub or work it into the flour while cold, then chill the dough before rolling.
How should you store regular margarine, and can you freeze it?
Keep it covered in the fridge so it stays firm and does not pick up food smells. You can freeze it in its original wrapping or an airtight container; thaw it in the fridge before using.
Is regular margarine the same as a soft margarine spread?
No. Regular margarine is usually firmer and contains more fat, while soft spreads are designed to come straight from the fridge for spreading and may contain more water. For baking, check whether a recipe calls for block margarine or spread.
Is regular margarine vegan?
Not always. Some versions contain milk ingredients, so check the ingredients for milk, whey or buttermilk if you need a dairy-free option.
What is regular margarine made from?
It is made by blending fats or oils with water into an emulsion, often with added salt, flavourings and vitamins. The exact oils and other ingredients differ between products.
