I mean those little foil wrapped squares of butter, maybe 10 grams each, like you get with your dinner roll at a restaurant. Because reasons, I have 100+ of those things in the freezer. I use a square or two now and then but I’m not big into butter most of the time.
What’s something I can do with this butter? That probably means cook or bake something, as I expect the local Goodwill won’t take it. I doubt that a food bank would take it either, though maybe that’s worth a try (any idea)? I have a pressure cooker (instant pot) and an oven/range but not much cooking gear.
Thanks for any suggestions. Funny ones are fine.
Reverse pickpocket! Walk around and put butter in people’s pockets!
This is arguably the least practical advice in here, but also the funniest. Bonus points if you can do it to the same stranger multiple days in a row.
Make clarified butter and use it to fry shit (not literally).
Make a fuckton of caramel and speedrun diabetes.
You are not speed running diabetes with ~2kg of caramel.
My family goes through a similar amount of butter in a week or so, much quicker of we are baking.
Shortbread. Very simple ingredients (flour, butter, sugar), and uses lots of butter. Hard to screw up and tasty even if you keep it very simple.
Or just appreciate not having to buy any butter for a while. If it’s in the freezer, it’ll keep.
I would mix with fresh dill/parsley or other greens, some salt and pepper,then spread on bread or boiled potatoes 🥔. Yummy.
I make caramel if I find butter in promotion.learn to make parathas
beurre blanc, hollandaise or other sauces
make compound butter and freeze.
plenty of patisserie uses shittons of butter.You could make ghee if you want to store it for later.
That is if it’s real butter.
I hear in the US that is often not the case.Biscuits
I use a ton of butter for breakfast and lunch making eggs and grilled cheese, which has more butter than cheese really. That might last a month.
OP should do a giveaway, roll the dice and give out however many it lands on 😁 I’ll go first:
hang onto it so that you never have to buy butter again for the rest of your life.
1kg of butter is not really a lifetime supply, unless you are severely allergic.
Great opportunity here to share an amazing work of art. This is the only place I can find it online. I still have their album Knocked Up on CD.
we were warned about you in the math problems
Hit up your local dispensaries/growers and see if you can get some cheap trimmings/shake and make some cannibutter.
I don’t have a recipe for you, but I think shortbread is like equal parts flour and butter.
Alternatively, LOTS of shrimp scampi.
Put it in your coffee.
You can just pretend you’re Germany.
