My mom used margarine, grandma used butter.

I use butter.

Nice but says nothing about margarine being healthier than butter

I thought you were specifically referring to transfats?

 

[CynBeth]

Only non dairy margarine my DH has food allergies.

Sorry, you didn't say that. Here you go. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/304283#butter-vs.-margarine-how-to-choose

Thanks again. Still nothing that says margarine is more healhier than butter. Only says margarine isn’t quit as nasty as it once was.

I wasn’t referring to anything other than the statement that margarine is now more healthy than butter. It’s better but it’s still a chemical concoction that has no natural basis

If you prefer a difference reference https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-...pert-answers/butter-vs-margarine/faq-20058152
or in the original link
4th paragraph under the heading " The differences between butter and margarine".

Butter.

I have a couple of cookie recipes that are better with margarine they are older and originally asked for lard or crisco.

Me too. Rare occasions I will buy margarine because a chocolate chip cookie recipe is so much better with margarine. (I like chewy, not flat and crispy. Personal preference.)

Butter only. My sister does make scones on occasion and the recipe specifies margarine/Country crock, but that's the only thing we would buy it for. Haven't bought any in years at this point.
