question

I have a question. My house stays warm and my coconut oil is always at room temperature and liquid. Would I still be able to use it in this recipe ? I am new to vegan cooking.
Thanks,
Jen

Hi JFiquette! It's no problem if your coconut oil is melted at room temperature. You're going to just mix it with the other ingredients and put it in the freezer to solidify into cube form. If you leave your vegan butter out in a hot room for an extended period, it'll melt slightly faster than a stick of traditional dairy-based butter will due to coconut oil's slightly lower melt point.

"Unfortunately sauteing with your butter recipe ends up in unwanted clumps due to xantham gum being fried at high temperatures. Perhaps you could use something that melts. You are right about the acidic taste. The vinegar flavor ruins the butter experience if you were to spread it on bread to be eaten directly. Lemon juice has the same effect. Moreover, I did try organic coconut oil which resulted in the best flavor. But, as I am sure everyone knows, organic oil is extremely expensive. It is also interesting to note that this butter for some reason will collect mold rather quickly if not used soon enough. Freezing only retards the mold growth. How long do you hold your butter before using? Have you tried other neutral tasting acids with..."
