Use Butter Generously

From Use Butter Generously by Miriam Williams: The Farmer's Wife Cookbook

"Fats which are competitive to butter all have their place, but one does not yearn to be particularly lavish with them.  With butter it is different.  I level-measure baking powder, spice, flour for cakes or gravy, but when it comes to measuring butter for seasoning, it's a rounding table - spoonful or a generous lump.  Few things make me bristle like the restaurant sandwich which isn't spread with butter, and clear to the edges, too.  The dairyman who almost caused a rift in the church by his explosions over the "measurably skimpy" pats of butter which the ladies aid served at the church supper, has my sympathy."
