Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).

The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become. Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high-moisture content of these spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil. 7
