Butter
Butter is in 35 recipes and rarely as the main cooking fat. Its real job here is bun toasting: the milk solids brown at a much lower temperature than oil, so a bun face goes golden in under a minute and picks up a flavour that plain oil cannot give it. It also finishes onions — a knob added at the end of a long caramelisation carries the sweetness. Butter burns fast, which is why recipes that use it for the patty itself add it late rather than at the start.
