Powdered Butter For SHTF Cooking?

A short but important video on our search to find long term storage options for grid down TEOTWAWKI type scenarios. Will powdered butter work as well as "regular" butter for frying?
Join me in this short video as we try to find out.

LAST WEEK, i purchased 9 gallons of butcher boy brand coconut oil at an amish food store in iowa for $15.99 a gallon the exact same price it was over 2 years ago, i still had a few gallons left from the last time i traveled to iowa!
i have been a survivalist/prepper for over 50 years, lost everything i owned more than 1 time!!!

Powdered butter is probably more like salt and pepper. Sprinkle it on food or incorporate it in baking recipies. As others suggested, use an oil or fat instead of water. It will give the oil/fat a butter flavor.

A note about the large #10 can. Once you open it, it has a 1 year shelf life. I would suggest breaking down the bulk amount into small canning jars, place an oxygen absorber in it and vacuum seal to extend the unused powder beyone the 1 year shelf life limitation. Unless you can use the entire contents of that #10 can in 1 year.

Reconstitute powdered butter with oil instead of water. It will melt.

VERY helpful video & surprising results at the end. Wasn’t expecting that. So glad I know now!! Thank you very much for this practical & IMO, important video!! 💛💛💛

Yes, Ghee is very good alternative will not scorch like butter for pan fying and has a very long shelf life

Next time, please mention how it tastes and the measurements you're using. Looks like you add water according to consistency.

Can you use powdered butter to make frosting and also bake??

[leverman]

We got a couple of those from Hooser farms a year ago and sat them back on the shelf. Thanks for making this vid, now when we actually use it we won't be surprised or disappointed with the results. Also like the thought of re-constituting with oil or lard, also that gee stores well on it's own.

Chef Prepper, what is your opinion on the taste? ever done any comparisons? what do you recomend for a butter replacement given no referigeration? thanks

[lacycollinsworth]

I’ve never seen powdered butter before

[heatherlovesdeuteronomy]

I clarify and can my own, will last on the shelf for a long long time 🙂

I attempted to make ghee from a tub of Country Crock....It's been two days and it has separated into oil and water. Sucks I liked that butter, um a oily crap.

Thanks for sharing this experiment. I've only recently heard of powdered butter. Guess I'll be checking out ghee.

I've been using the powder milk to cook with for years. To save money on milk. I'd rather drink my milk and eat it with cereal then cook with it.🥛 My husband and our families can't tell the difference when I do.

We use powdered butter and real butter. We don't buy margarine

I just made Hoosier Hill Farm Sour Cream from their powder...
This product is horrible! 😱 Made to simple directions and it was very runny. It was, also, very tart, like there was too much lactic acid. It tasted like nonfat dry milk and lactic acid. Disgusting! Yuck! I can't even fix this powder, which was very pricey for what you get. I got the Cream Cheese powder too. I won't open it until Doomsday. Never buying from Hoosier Hill Farm again.

We are ready knew it wouldn't melt
What a crock.
Thought maybe you were going to bake with it or cook something with the powder butter
What a waste of time !

Canning unsalted butter is very simple, well worth the effort, and is shelf stable for years. The process is super simple, and just takes a little time. Basically, you're just clarifying and canning it.

I use it as my every day butter. I currently have 8 cases of canned butter that I rotate through, with a case being 12 half pint Mason jars. I have friends who also use cases of 6 one pint jars as well.
Once I go through a case, I buy another 8 lbs. of unsalted butter from Costco, can it, date it, and put it at the bottom of the stack. I'll add another case or two to what I already have in good time.

I do store Thrive Life powdered butter as well, but as you clearly showed it's not as versatile. 🧈😁
