Thetype of margarine will affect baitingperformance/.
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result ff cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight, Low fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain tess fat and more watel: The high moisture content of fl_ese spreads affect the texture and flavor
of baked goods, For best resvdts with your old favorite recipes, use margm'ine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil
