Our tips for Butter

  • The wonders of fromage frais

    Submitted by Pat Phillips ,

    You can use fromage frais instead of butter and milk in mashed potato, then use the remainder to thicken curry, or use with little artificial sweetner and vanilla essence instead of cream on fresh fruit desserts.

  • Butter Mill

    Submitted by Kathy, USA

    The butter mill keeps butter or margarine fresher longer as the smells from the fridge don't get to it. It's also easy to use and I truely think you use less, so it's healthier!

  • Leftover pesto

    Submitted by Sarah, Romford

    Never waste pesto again! Mix left over pesto with butter, freeze in individual portions. Use the pesto butter on steak, chicken, lamb etc. Mix some garlic into it as well for a great tasting butter and spread on a toasted baguette.
