Fry Light - Buttery one

[mum of 2]

Butter buds only come in one type but obviously you could syn real low fat spread or butter BUT it is SOOOO important not to guess the weight. Use a proper measuring spoon. Butter is 2 syns per LEVEL teaspoon whereas very low fat spread is .5 syns per level tsp and low fat is 1 per tsp.

I was under the impression that you put in the butter yourself, that they were a way of messuring it hahahaha. I will have a look at it then. Thanks for the info.

I bought some proper measuring spoons , but I am trying to find alternatives to butter, since that was one of the things that I initially found hard to subsitute.

I hated it too. Just the smell of it would turn my stomach. I was not keen on the balsamic spray either. I ended up throwing it away.

These things are full of chemicals too so if you can find substitutes it's much better. A lady at SW told me she just puts Balsamic in a little salt shaker and it works very well.

HTH

I think there are two different conversations going on. The butter buds come in powdered form and pre-measured sachets. But it's really important to measure any spreads or butter you use because you can easily double the syn value just by having a rounded spoon rather than level.

Agree with the other posters, it smells and tastes awful!

I love real butter (not margarine or spreads!) so I had high hopes for the Fry Light.

It smells awful and the taste was foul.

Definitely would not recommend!
