Why is this post on this website when it doesn’t use coconut oil? A substitute for butter would be helpful.
Hi Erica,
My website, while it is called coconutoilpost.com, contains lots of recipes which I have tried and tested but not every recipe has coconut oil in it. Saturated fats, whether it is butter or other oils are a healthy fat to have in recipes. Sometimes coconut oil doesn’t work as well in certain recipes that call for butter and therefore I don’t recommend it. I haven’t tried at this stage, making scones with coconut oil although you may be able to use ghee. I hope that helps.
