Butter Powder!

Butter is something that’s nearly impossible to take on a backcountry camping trip but tastes oh so good in all types of food! Butter powder bridges the gap and allows campers to enjoy the flavor of butter, even if they’re two weeks in.

Butter powder blends easily into mixes for pancakes, baked goods and sauces. In addition to mixes, butter powder can also be added to cooked vegetables, pasta, instant rice, and just about any other cooked dish you can think of. Rehydrated butter powder looks a lot like whipped butter and tastes like butter that’s had a little milk added to it. Once rehydrated, butter powder looks and spreads much like butter – it will even melt on your hot biscuits or pan bread!

Our butter powder is as close as you can get to pure butter in a powder form – the only ingredients are butter powder and dry buttermilk. Butter can’t be powdered in its pure form because it has very little water that can be removed. That’s why the buttermilk has been added – it adds the extra liquid needed to allow butter to transform into a powdered state. Since we use buttermilk rather than plain milk, our butter has a flavor closer to pure butter than most although it does still have a slight milky flavor.
