Recipe - Bettah-Than-Buttah

2 ounce Lowfat soy milk*
1 tablespoon Butter Buds or Molly
McButter
1 teaspoon Cornstarch; (dissolved in
cool soy milk)

When SmartBeats took their truly fat free margarine off the market (and
replaced it with one high in fat but labeled "Better than Fat Free") I had
to try to invent a butterlike spread for my baked potatoes. Here's what I
came up with:

Mix thoroughly while over low heat or 10second microwave bursts. Adjust
for desired thickness, but tastes better and keeps potato more moist when
consistency is slightly runny.

* I use "Better than Milk?" Light powdered soy milk, mixed according to the
container directions. It is not sweetened and enhances the butterflavor.

One serving has 21 calories, about 8 percent calories from fat (0.12 g fat,
4 g carbohydrate and about 1 g of protein).
180 mg sodium.

Can be combined in a blender with fresh chopped garlic or garlic powder to
make "GarlicButtah" for a fat free garlic bread.
