About

butter for baking

Everyday baking or laminated pastry?

For cakes, biscuits and other recipes, start with the butter specified in the recipe. An unsalted option such as Bordier Doux lets you control the added salt. When choosing Échiré, check that the selected variant matches your needs.

For croissants and other laminated pastries, a specialist format such as Montaigu pastry butter in a frozen sheet serves a different purpose from a small table pack. Follow the product and recipe instructions for handling.

Compare practical details

Check the pack weight against the recipe, the selected salted or unsalted variant, and the storage instructions. A flavoured butter or ghee should not be treated as an automatic substitute for plain butter in a recipe.

For bread service and finishing dishes, explore French butters.

Read how to choose table butter or baking butter for guidance on salted versus unsalted and matching the format to your recipe.
