What auction site are those measuring spoons on

Hi Sheila! Sometimes you can, sometimes you can’t; it really depends on how much the recipe calls for. We discuss this in detail within this post 🙂

You’re welcome! 🙂

If you look, they’re on the auction site its under the name ‘Trudeau Measuring Spoon’. There are other names from other manufacturers, but they’re there. Look closely because some of them are not the exact same design.

You’re welcome! 🙂

Hi Kris! I bought these from Target a long time ago and haven’t been able to find a link for them. 🙁

Thank you so much, Hazel! I’m so glad the article was helpful and I’m honored to be your go to for recipes. 🙂

You are the reason I started using unsalted butter and all of my recipes. Also your recipes have now replaced all the recipes in my recipe book except of course old old family recipes. You are my go-to source for anything baked.

I absolutely agree Jack! I get raves about my pumpkin bread crumble topping and peanut butter cookies which both have a lot more salt than any recipe I have seen in print (the cookies are even dusted with a mix of sugar and pink Himalayan salt because who doesn’t like salted peanuts!) that salt sweet combo is something I CRAVE!

Interesting argument regarding the freshness though! I had never heard that before. As far as I can tell from reading up on it though. It isn’t true. Salted butter lasts longer. But that doesn’t mean it’s any older, it just means your unsalted butter is going to go bad first.

So I’ll stick with salted as usual!

Hi Michelle! It honestly completely depends on the recipe. Margarine doesn’t always work as a substitute. Butter contains more fats where margarine is made with plant oils so they can behave differently when baking.

Not typically. Most of the time I use a store brand butter and it works very well. 🙂

Hi Felix! I’m not sure I’ve ever encountered this issue. You typically need at least some salt to add a little bit of flavor, but if they call for unsalted butter and no salt I would follow the recipe. Salted butter may make it too salty. 🙂

I use their butter frequently. 🙂

Hi Ellen! My only caution in shaping it by hand rather than with any kind of cutter is that your hands are going to be much warmer than the cutter would be and that would warm up the butter as well. 🙂

That is exactly what happened today. Butter thoroughly frozen, yet, softened while grating. And, I only had salty soooo, of course it was a wee bit saltier than expected. BUT…still delicious. I shaped by hand. Any thoughts on doing that rather than using a cutter.

I am so glad that you found my blog too and that you enjoyed the first recipe that you tried, Suzzanne! Thanks for commenting. I can’t wait to see what you try next. 🙂
