(a) it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline
(b) reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose)
In paragraph 2 of "History", it states, "...the concession stand purveying the dish sold 9,000 orders of the dish..." Is it necessary to say "the dish" again, following "9,000 orders"?
Paragraph 1 of "Characteristics" begins, "Deep-fried butter's flavor has been compared to that of French toast, and as like "the most buttery bread you've ever had."[13] It has been described that the butter mostly melts..." Two things about this stretch:
The transition from "compared to... French toast" to "and as like..." might flow better if the latter is worded as "also being described as tasting like..." or something to that extent.
Where it says, "It has been described that the butter mostly melts...", it might read more easily if this were changed to "It has been stated that the butter mostly melts...", or "The butter has been described as mostly melting...".
In the section on "Fried butter", I was a bit unsure about the line, "... while continuously covering it with an egg yolks...". Either the "an" or the pluralization of "yolk" ought to be dropped, but I can't tell whether the recipe calls for the use of multiple egg yolks or only one.

Just to check, this article states that a citation is needed for "significant buttery flavor". Given that the item consists of a stick of butter, coated with batter, is it really necessary to require a citation? I mean, it might just be me, but that seems rather obvious to suggest that butter tastes like butter. -E.J.P., 16/06/16 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.238.82 (talk) 05:05, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
With the below modifications made, the article satisfies criteria on grammar as well as general layout/structure. Herein dwells the greatest dictionary ever composed! (talk) 06:36, 3 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
