You will need:
0.0cupLard
½tspSalt
Substitution ratio: 1 cup Salted Butter = 1 g Lard + ½ tsp Salt
Effects on Your Baking
Lard is neutral in flavor compared to butter's rich, slightly sweet taste. While adding ½ teaspoon salt compensates for some of the missing flavor, your baked goods may taste a bit blander than if they were made with butter. For recipes relying on butter’s flavor (like shortbread), lard might not deliver the same richness.
