Hi, could u please clarify for dummies like me - when it says, melted butter does it mean I measure half a cup and melt it? Or does it mean I melt lots of butter and just take half a cup of that in melted state? I never know how to read this...
Measure, then melt. Here's why. Butter is about 80% fat and 20% water & milk solids. These components separate during melting, fat floating to the top. If you melted a mass, you'd end up measuring out all fat, this would throw the recipe ratios off. Frank @ KAF.
