About ButterAndCrumb
A baking blog for home bakers who want reliable, from-scratch recipes.
Why we bake
ButterAndCrumb is an independent, U.S.-based baking blog. We share from-scratch recipes for cookies, cakes, breads, breakfast bakes and cozy desserts — the kind of baking that makes a kitchen smell wonderful and brings people to the table.
Baking can feel intimidating because small details matter. Our goal is to explain those details clearly, so you understand not just what to do, but why it works.
Our baking philosophy
Precise, not fussy
Cup measurements with gram weights, clear temperatures and simple equipment.
Explain the why
We share the science behind each step so you can troubleshoot and adapt.
Made for real kitchens
Make-ahead options, substitutions and storage tips that fit busy weeks.
What you'll find here
- Classic cookies and bars that turn out right the first time.
- Cakes and cupcakes for birthdays and celebrations.
- Yeast breads with beginner-friendly guidance on kneading and rising.
- Breakfast bakes you can make ahead and freeze.
- Seasonal treats for fall, winter holidays and summer fruit.
How we test our recipes
Every recipe is developed and tested in a home kitchen before it's published. Read about our testing, measurements, image sourcing and corrections on our Editorial Standards page.
