1. 1

   I received several suggestions for alternative to butter. So far, I have tried the one that looked the easiest. It was Max Prola's, which was to mix butter with an equal volume of vegetable oil.

2. 2

   I am very happy with the results. I use canola oil since it is the = lowest in saturated fat. That's also what I add to the bread when baking. In addition to reducing saturated fats by (almost) 50%, there would also be a reduction in salt. Most butter is salted. If you have ever tasted the unsalted variety, you know why. Another pleasant outcome is that the mixture is just the right consistency for spreading when you take it out of the fridge. I always found butter too hard, even when kept in the butter compartment.
