About Peanut Butter
If oil has separated, stir it thoroughly back into the jar before measuring. Fill the cup in portions, press out gaps and scrape it clean when transferring to the bowl.
A cookie recipe may depend on the consistency of a particular peanut butter. Natural and stabilised products are not automatically interchangeable, and draining off separated oil changes the ingredient itself.
Tips for measuring Peanut Butter
- Mix the entire jar evenly before taking a portion.
- Check whether the recipe specifies smooth or crunchy.
Common mistakes
- Pouring off the oil and then using the original conversion and recipe.
