[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 15 points 4 days ago (8 children) Sugar is a functional ingredient, not just a flavoring. And vegetable oil is transfat. Stick to butter, ghee, or some real oil. permalink fedilink source hideshow 16 child comments replies: [–] Nighed@feddit.uk 8 points 3 days ago (1 child) THAT much sugar is not functional.

The hydrogenation process is a way of making those vegetable oils into saturated fats, but trans fats are often produced as a side effect. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Maeve@kbin.earth -7 points 3 days ago (1 child) Yes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] swicano@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago I don't think so.

A quick search came up with a reference card of 7g active yeast to 1tsp sugar.
