I am trying to make Brownies out of box, but I need to use butter…
the box calls for 2/3 cup of vegetable oil, but i am adding a stick of butter.
can i use the butter as a substitute? or will the fat content make the brownies bad?
and if i am able to substitute, is there a ratio of where butter and vegetable oil equal?
Yes, butter is delicious and I have been known to substitute it on purpose!
Melt the butter first, and remember that 1 stick = 1/2 cup of butter…so do the math and figure out what 2/3 cup of butter equals.
A helpful trick is to remember that butter sticks are divided into 8 tablespoons…and there are 16 tablespoons in a cup, so you would need a little over 10 tablespoons to make up 2/3 cup of butter.
Good job on using the butter. It will make your brownies taste much more home-made!
