Butter

A rich dairy fat that adds flavour, moisture and structure to baking, and forms the base of countless sauces when melted or browned.

Use it cold for flaky pastry and softened (not melted) for creaming into cakes, and watch it closely when browning as it can go from nutty to burnt in seconds.
