Anyone ever use "powdered butter"?

Posted on 02/28/2014 11:39:15 AM PST by djf

Local grocery store has large (#10 I think) cans of "powdered butter".

How in the heck do they "powder" the fats?

I assume you add water to it to use it, but maybe you add corn oil or peanut oil.

Help! I'm confused!

You use it in recipes, the box will tell you the substitution ratios. If there is a way use it to make butter like you would spread on something, I’m not aware of it.

I've never used the product, so I can't speak to it.

I have used the canned butter from New Zealand and it is excellent.

I know nothing about cooking but the water was taken out to dehydrate it, so you have to put it back in. What happens after that I have no idea.

Peanut oil works best.

Wonder how that would have worked in the movie “Last Tango In Paris”?

I’ve not used it (honestly never heard of it before now), but here is a website that gives its history and how they manage to dehydrate it:

Yes, put the water back in — rehydrate it.

Our butter powder is a fine, free flowing powder. By looking at it you'd never guess it's #1 ingredient is butter. Many people say, "I didn't think you could dehydrate fat." And they're right. You can't dehydrate fat as dehydrate literally means to 'remove the water' and fat has none. The small amount of water in butter is removed, however. Then, the powder is made by cleverly processing milk solids with the butter. Reconstituted butter powder looks much like whipped butter and tastes like butter with an added milky flavor to it. Because it does have a milky taste, some people find it takes just a bit of getting used to as a spread on bread. However, the mouth 'feel' is the same as butter and it looks and spreads much like butter after it has been reconstituted. It will even melt into hot toast and pancakes almost as fast as regular butter.

We have all those dried products in #10 cans — my wife will know what to do if/when the time comes. She grew up making do in a very poor third-world country and this stuff is a luxury.

I used to buy “Molly McButter” and sprinkle it on steamed vegetables. Perhaps it was powdered butter. Anyway, it worked on warm, moist food best, but you could also put it on popcorn.

I know a guy who invented powdered water — But he doesn’t know what to add...so, yeah.

Not for anything kinky, if that's what you're asking.
