Butterrill is a small-batch baking notebook for home bakers who want reliable results and a better understanding of how recipes work. Its practical approach centres on weighing ingredients, recording results, and expressing recipes as baker’s percentages, making it easier to compare and scale a bake. The site offers three concise guides covering baker’s percentages, pantry ingredients, and measuring and oven basics, with advice on flour, yeast, chemical leaveners, fats, sugar, salt, temperature, and doneness.

Its recipes include an everyday white loaf, buttermilk soda bread, and cookies, each presented with ingredient weights, percentages, timings, and clear methods. A working recipe-scale calculator helps adjust batches to different sizes, while a quick-reference section covers spoon measures and temperatures. The notebook emphasizes metric weights, gives conventional and fan oven temperatures, and encourages bakers to keep notes on ingredients, conditions, and results.

Butterrill is designed to make small-scale baking more repeatable, approachable, and informative, without relying on measuring cups or guesswork
