The suggestion to use only 3/4 as much European butter seems really, really odd. Let's say the recipe calls for 100g of butter. With typical AA American butter, that's 80% * 100g = 80g of butterfat. Reducing to 3/4 and using European style butter, that's at most 86% * 75g = 64.5g of butterfat. That's a full 20% less!
