Can I Substitute Butter For Margarine In A Biscotti Recipe?
February 9th, 2010 by Rexx
I found a recipe for biscotti at allrecipes.com and it calls for butter. I live in Oklahoma and we are in a deep freeze right now and I don’t want to go to the store. I just want to hang out in my jammies and slippers and have coffee and biscotti! Also, what is anise extract? I saw where other people substituted almond extract for it and that’s what I’m doing but I was just curious what it is. Thanks!

You don’t even have to use butter or marganie. If you go to food network ti has a couple recipes witout it. So yeah, it can be sicne all recipes don’t even call for it.

Anise extract is a flavoring produced from dissolving the oil of anise seeds into alcohol. The extract has a sweet licorice taste and is used as a flavoring for cooking.
You can substitute margarine but you may not get the desired results.

Yes, you can. It’s pretty much the same thing and it works :]. I’ve subsituted ordinary sugar for granulated sugar and brown sugar, yet the recipe tastes great :].

Butter for margarine is fine if you’re not concerned about the nutritional info.

You can use margarine any time in place of butter. As for Anise Extract it’s made from the oil of anise seeds. It tastes like licorice and it’s very sweet. Almond extract would be yummy. So would other flavored extracts. Enjoy and stay warm!

You can use margarine instead of butter or shortening and vica-versa even though their not exact in makeup. but to make things a little healthier you can use applesauce or bananas instead.
Anise extract is a sweet licorice flavoring.
