Butter
Definition: Made by churning cream until it reaches a semisolid state. Butter must by U.S. law be at least 80 percent milk fat. The remaining 20 percent consists of water and milk solids.

Margarine
Definition: a butter substitute, margarine (which is less expensive but not as flavorful as butter) is made with vegetable oils. In order for margarine to become solid, the oil must undergo a chemical transformation known as hydrogenation--indicated as hydrogenated (or partially hydrogenated) oils on a label. Some researchers believe that hydrogenated oils may actually be more damaging than regular saturated fats for those limiting cholesterol in their diets, but the jury's still out on that debate. Calling these Trans-fats. To make this butter substitute taste and look more like the real thing, cream or milk is often added. Regular margarine must contain 80 percent fat. The remaining 20 percent consists of liquid, coloring, flavoring and other additives. In its early days, margarine was also known as oleomargarine.

Lard:
Definition: n. rendered and clarified pork fat, the quality of which depends on the area the fat came from and the method of rendering. The very best is leaf lard, which comes from the fat around the animal's kidneys. Unprocessed lard has quite a strong flavor and a soft texture.

Answer 3

butter is milk fat extracted from heavy whipping cream. whip cream is a step just before butter(not the fake stuff in a can, real whipped cream). if you go to the store you can buy whipping cream if you beat it into whipped cream and keep going white liquid called weigh will separate from it and after you stop getting the water out of it you are left with butter. allot of butter is salted, basically it just has salt added to it and may be sweetened one way or another. it is a fun thing to try but your arm will be sore by the time your done. we always used an empty jar at least for the first part and when it became a lump would fold it in a bowl with a spatula

Answer 4

Butter is the cream off of raw milk. You get this by letting the raw milk sit for a few hours, and the cream will rise to the top. just scrape the cream off, put in a mason jar, and shake it until it hardens into butter. You can add salt if you want. The sticks that you are talking about are just molded into the stick form and wrapped.

Answer 5

Butter is a dairy product made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk. So it is a product of milk.

If butter does not contain milk - then it is margarine (and not butter) which is made with vegetable oil.

Butter consists of butterfat surrounding minuscule droplets consisting mostly of water and milk proteins. The most common form of butter is made from cows' milk, but can also be made from the milk of other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, and yaks. Salt, flavorings, or preservatives are sometimes added to butter.

Answer 6

Butter is made from the cream in milk. Heavy cream is extracted from milk and beaten until it turns into butter. It is very easy to make your own fresh butter at home this way.

Answer 7

Butter is made by churning the cream that floats to the top of milk. If you whip cream too much, it will turn to butter. Yes, butter fat comes from milk.

Answer 8

Have you heard the term buttermilk. It is called buttermilk because if you take heavy cream and churn it, it churns the fat that is in the cream. Buttermilk is what is left over. Butter is made from fat, that is why you can use butter instead of shortening or margarine. Butter is a byproduct of milk, made from the fat in the cream.

Answer 9

Butter do contain a small amount of milk!

Answer 10

Real butter contains milk, I think what you mean is margarine which uses vegetable oil.
