Butter is generally 80% fat and 20% water. If you use butter instead of oil, remember to make up the difference and take liquid out somewhere else. For instance, a recipe that calls for 2 cups of oil, you would need 2 and 1/2 cups of butter, BUT you would have to reduce your liquid somewhere else by 1/2 cup.
