RM8.99 for 340gm. what's 340gm anyway???? is it equivalent to a lb or something? its like 3 times the price of normal butter....<br />aiyo, if you bake commercially, it would be pokai-fiable to use golden churn.fatboybakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872577399803066735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-6159083802008066352007-01-16T15:26:00.000+08:002007-01-16T15:26:00.000+08:00Ah, one q I have been meaning to ask, Golden Churn...Ah, one q I have been meaning to ask, Golden Churn in can is unsalted or salted? See them also in the normal butter bar form but never buy since I prefer them unsalted.

Butter here comes in sticks, which equals half a cup. And the wrappers have little markings that show you how to cut off a tbsp, and so on. It's actually pretty convenient, but only helps if your butter comes in the same packaging, I s'pose.jacqui_woohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01259455875430529035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053759.post-89801299762327667752007-01-15T09:50:00.000+08:002007-01-15T09:50:00.000+08:00yeah, well, golden churn is like double the price ...yeah, well, golden churn is like double the price of normal butter isnt it??? i guess if you're baking for family, and if its a butter cake, definitely should use that.
