Butter
Other Types of Butter
Flavoured Butter
Flavoured butter is traditional butter with added flavourings such as garlic, spices and herbs. Using flavoured butter adds different seasoning to foods, along with a pure butter taste. You can also make your own flavoured butter.

Blended Butter
Blended butter is a blend of real butter with liquid oil, such as canola, to make a spread that tastes like butter, yet is soft and easy to spread straight from the refrigerator. Blended butter is available in regular and light versions.

Whey Butter
Whey butter is made from the whey that has been separated from the curd in cheesemaking. Whey butter has a deeper yellow colour and stronger flavour than churned butter with a cheese-like flavour and is sometimes salty if the curd was salted. It is often found at specialty stores and farmers’ markets.

Whipped Butter
Whipped butter is butter with air whipped into it to make a lighter, softer spread. It is often served in restaurants for spreading on dinner rolls or pancakes. Whipped butter is not interchangeable with regular butter for cooking or baking.
- Add a crowning glory with a dollop of whipped butter on Apple and Cinnamon Pancakes.
Ghee
Ghee is a semi-fluid clarified butter that is sold in jars. It is most commonly used in Indian and other eastern cuisines. The milk solids are removed in the clarifying process so ghee stays semi-firm and keeps fresher at room temperature than whole butter. It is available at large supermarkets and specialty stores.
- Add authentic flavour with ghee in Easy Butter Chicken.
