Help me with this oil/butter conversion, please...

[1GirlTwinBoys]

If a cornbread recipe calls for 1/3 cup of oil, how much melted butter would I use to replace that?

I just do a 1 to 1 conversion.  I know butter has water in it, but a 1 to 1 has always worked out for me.

Should be 1:1. However, in a cornbread recipe, I would melt the butter before adding. I bake mine in an iron skillet, and with that method, I actually don't mix the butter into the batter. I heat the iron skillet in the oven until the butter melts, take out the skillet, sprinkle a little cornmeal into the skillet, then spoon in the batter (without mixing in the butter). It makes a nice crunchy crust and is delicious.

What everyone else said - 1:1 conversion, but melt it first.
