Augason Farms Butter Powder Review How To Use Butter Powder Bake Bread With Powdered Butter prepping
Oster Bread Machine Best Butter Substitute hi it's AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper i recently
bought Oster bread machine and i thought it would be a great idea to have some butter powder
to use in the bread machine instead of using fresh butter it's easy to use dry
ingredients in your bread machine and the more dry ingredients you use then the less
dependent you are on having fresh food especially while foods things like butter
are going up dramatically in price i think a pound of butter is up to six dollars and in some places
it's hard to get so Augason Farms butter powder to me is a good investment i bought this twice
at walmart once i bought it in the store and then i was able to get one on walmart online see this
it's the exact same can it was 23.93 in the store and a week or two later it was 17 dollars
and seven cents for them to deliver it to my house that's quite a difference in price don't you think
the nice thing about Augason Farms butter powder is it has 204 servings which means 204 tablespoons
and it's actually real butter it's all butter let's open up the Augason Farms butter powder
and see what it looks like i think having butter powder in my working pantry will be a great idea
Augason Farms foods are nice because they come with the plastic lids if you open oh look at
that i'm surprised to see that there's something under the lid that's unusual
let me go ahead and clean it off and make sure this can isn't damaged okay
let's look under the other one see what it looks like okay it also has pattern
seems to be fine let's try this one Augason Farms butter powder
so they seem to be fine you can tell that can it's still under pressure if you press on can lid it
and it's already sunken in so maybe that's just because it comes from a
food processing plant where there's lots of powdery food and maybe that's just part of the
processing but i've certainly never noticed that before but i haven't so much open the powdery food
something i like to do when i'm storing away the number 10 cans is i put one of the p38 or the p51
the little foldable collapsible p38 can openers under the lid you can just put can opener in there
and then you have an emergency can opener if you need to use your emergency food so that's
a great inexpensive way to have an emergency can opener i'll put a link to a video i made
on how to use p38 p51 can openers if they've never used them before and they're easy to buy
a big old pack of p38 p51 on amazon so you can scatter can openers around in your bug out bag
and in your food storage my favorite can opener for the number 10 cans is the swing
away can opener because Swing Away can opener opens completely up and the Swing Away crank
is simple you don't get your hand going like this which can really be tiresome when you're
opening a great big can and so that's what i like to use Swing Away can opener for these
so let's open Augason Farms butter powder with Swing Away can opener
did you hear the little puff so can butter powder was under pressure so
i think it's going to be perfectly fine and safe
you can see the Augason Farms butter powder nutritional facts it's 35 calories per serving
which is one tablespoon of powder which is equal to one tablespoon of butter so that's easy to
measure Augason Farms butter powder doesn't require very much water it doesn't tell you how to
just do a tablespoon of butter but it does tell you half a cup of butter powder plus one
and one half tablespoons of water would make a half a cup of butter so if you know there's
16 tablespoons in a cup a half a cup has eight tablespoons so then see you just do your math
so that you hardly need any water at all it's definitely powdery it's very lightweight fluffy
so yeah so i'm going to need one and one half tablespoons of butter
i think it's only going to need about a half a teaspoon of water let's measure it and stir it up
if you don't have a half a tablespoon know that it's one teaspoon plus a half a teaspoon
would equal half there's three teaspoons so you can use one and one half
is going to give you a half of a tablespoon
i'm going to try about a half a teaspoon of water to see how that goes butter powder
it's so fluffy like say cornstarch
and it says if you want spreadable butter you would just add twice as much water
but i think that that's going to be sufficient to put into softened butter into my bread machine
let's taste it
tastes like butter it's perfect let's make bread i always spray my Oster bread pan
you want to put the wet ingredients in before the dry
i'm making three quarter cup plus two tablespoons of water the one and a half tablespoons of butter
see if i was just adding it as powder i could just add the extra liquid for the
butter and then add the powder next now i have one and a half tablespoons of sugar
one tablespoon of dry milk powder
one and a half teaspoons of salt three cups of flour then you want to make a little
indentation in the dry and that's where you add your yeast you don't ever want the yeast to get
into the liquid until it's ready to start mixing now the pan goes into the Oster bread machine
close the lid and now you plug it in
i'm doing the basic setting on my Oster bread machine so it's ready to start
i like the Oster bread machine window because you can see what's going on whether it's mixing it
it's kneading it it's rising or baking you can look in and see the progress this smells amazing
but i made a mistake i was outside digging in the garden and i didn't watch the time so bread
has been in Oster bread machine like an extra hour so it does turn off it's supposed to keep it warm
you just pull the loaf out
it slides right out but it's lopsided it's probably lopsided because i didn't come in in time
then you have to get out the little paddle
which does leave a hole in the middle of your bread when you're cutting it but
that doesn't bother me in the least it smells so good but yeah you can see because i left
it in too long it has a little brown bottom and it's a little lopsided but
i'm going to say it still turned out great because who can't love homemade bread
i think this worked great using the powdered butter it absolutely is delicious smelling it's
still warm even though i neglected it but the whole point of the video was about the butter
not about my bread baking ability this bread is delicious even without adding more butter on top
one pound of butter equals 32 tablespoons and the butter powder equals 206 tablespoons which
is about 6.43 pounds of butter so if you look at the price of fresh butter for example at walmart
you could buy the great value butter at four dollars and eighteen cents a pound and if you
multiply that times the six point four pounds in the powdered butter that would equal 26.75
if you looked at land of lakes butter is 5.98 a pound times 6.4 pounds would be 38 dollars and 14
cents if you love kerrygold pure irish butter this at walmart it's 438 for a half a pound so that
would be 76 cents a pound times 6.4 pounds equals 56 dollars and seven cents for the same amount of
tablespoons of butter for the same amount of butter that you can get with the augason farms
butter powder which makes the price i got it a fantastic deal plus the cans of butter powder
will last for 10 years once you open it you need to use it up within a year but it looks to me
like this is going to be great to use in breads to stir together and use on top of bread and even to
add any time i need butter i'm certainly going to try adding the augason farms butter powder
because it's delicious it's simple to use and it's less expensive than using real butter which it
actually is real butter if you have a recipe that you enjoy using the augason farms butter powder
