Powdered Butter

Here are a few hints on using powdered butter from Shelf Reliance - Cooking with Thrive

Powdered Butter for baking

 

When used in baking add dry butter powder with dry ingredients.

If the recipe calls for butter to be "creamed" with sugar as it does

in many cookie recipes, add the butter powder, sugar, and water

(just the amt. of water to rehydrate the butter) and cream that.

It will NOT look right, but it will bake right.

If the recipe calls for butter to be "cut in" as it does in many biscuit

recipes, stir the butter powder into the dry ingredients with a whisk

then add the water to rehydrate with the wet ingredients.

Butter powder does not fry or saute well.
