Brummel & Brown Buttery Spread
What it is
This is a buttery spread made with 10% nonfat yogurt and 35% vegetable oil. It is designed to offer a lighter alternative to traditional butter. The combination of yogurt and oil creates a spreadable texture that is suitable for various culinary applications. It aims to provide a buttery flavor profile without the richness of pure butter.
How people cook with it
This spread is versatile in the kitchen, suitable for both cooking and baking. It can be used in place of butter in many recipes.
- Spreading on toast
- Baking cookies
- Sautéing vegetables
- Making sauces
When baking, this spread can often be substituted for butter in a one-to-one ratio. For sautéing or pan-frying, use it as you would butter or oil. It melts similarly to butter, making it easy to incorporate into sauces or glazes. Its texture allows it to cream well with sugar for baked goods. For spreading, it is soft enough to use straight from the refrigerator.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to butter, this spread contains less fat and includes yogurt, which can contribute a slight tanginess. Its lower fat content means it may behave differently in some baking applications, potentially resulting in a less dense texture. The vegetable oil component ensures it remains soft and spreadable.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a lighter option for their everyday cooking and baking needs.
How to keep the rest
Keep refrigerated to maintain its texture and freshness. Once opened, it is best to consume within a reasonable timeframe, typically a few weeks, to ensure optimal quality. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent drying out.
