If you decrease the fat,the recipe may not give the same results aswith a higher-fat product.Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,pastries, cookies or candies are made withlow-fat spreads. The lower the fat contentof a spread product, the more noticeablethese differences become.Federal standards require products labeled“margarine” to contain at least 80% fat byweight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand,contain less fat and more water. The highmoisture content of these spreads affect thetexture and flavor of baked goods.
