Most recipes for baking hove been developed using high-fat products such us butter or margarine (80% fat). If gou
decrease the fat, the recipe mug not give the some results us with o higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are mode with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of o spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat bg weight. Low-fat spreads,on the

of baked goods. For best results with gour old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.
