I love butter. Especially melted butter, and frying things in butter. Broccoli, for example, fried in butter with garlic. Or pancakes, but without the garlic. And I loathe all the low-fat fake-butter sandwich spreads.

Some Swedish cookbooks have a recipe for pancakes where melted butter is added to the batter, with the argument that you then won’t need to butter the pan. Why on Earth would you want to not fry your pancakes in butter?! I’ve tried that approach, and while it does lead to pancakes of sorts, the taste is thin and flat. Not doing that again. Give me pancakes that make my fingers properly greasy!
