Recipes
Cooking with cannabis is a fat substitution — you swap butter for cannabutter and the rest is ordinary cooking. So every recipe here stores the fat it needs and the dose it targets, and works out the split once it knows how strong your oil is.

BreakfastStandard
Buttermilk pancakes
Three of the sources we surveyed carry a pancake recipe and none of them mention the problem: a griddle runs far hotter than an infusion survives. The butter goes on top, not in the pan.

Cinnamon french toast
Thick-cut bread in a cinnamon custard, with the infused butter worked into a topping rather than cooked into the pan. The skillet gets plain butter; the dose goes on afterward.

MainStandard
Creamy tomato soup
Canned tomatoes cooked down with onion and garlic, blended smooth, then finished with cream and a slug of olive oil once the pot is off the burner. Ladling measured bowls is what keeps the servings honest.

Crispy rice cereal treats
No oven and about ten minutes of work. The marshmallow goes on the heat, the infusion goes in after, and the whole thing lives or dies on how evenly you press the pan.

Garlic butter green beans

Garlic herb butter pasta
A ten-minute emulsified butter sauce built in the pan with pasta water. Dinner that happens to be dosed, rather than a dessert pretending to be dinner.

Mocha latte
A café mocha built to carry fat. Cocoa and milk proteins hold the melted butter in suspension once you blend it, which is why the foam matters here for more than looks.

Movie night popcorn
Popped in plain oil, dressed in infused oil afterward. Popping temperatures are far too hot for an infusion, which is why almost every recipe that pops in cannabutter wastes most of it.

Mulled apple cider
Spiced cider warmed on the stove, with the infusion whisked in off the heat. A pot that serves a group, portioned into mugs rather than ladled freely.

Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

Spiced hot chocolate
Proper hot chocolate made with real chocolate rather than powder, which gives the fat somewhere to hide and keeps the dose suspended.
