hello all, was just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for your go to unsalted butter for baking? would love a local recommendation if possible, or if you know anything about where the butter comes from as well it would be super appreciated!
FWIW I use Lactantia unsalted butter for all my baking, in fact, it is the only butter I ever buy. I'm happy with it, they also have a cultured version that is really good.
Outaouais butter is localish and pretty good. I buy it at Cedars on Bank st. I have never bought or used unsalted butter, even for baking, so I am not sure if they carry the unsalted sort.
I learned this lesson the hard way; if you’re making a laminated dough, it’s WAY easier to use a Euro-style butter because it’s much more pliable when it’s cold. I use the Lactancia brand; it’s pricey but if you’re going to put in the time and effort it’s really important!
