In Videos: Butter Water
Introducing butter water, with 90 percent more butter than regular water. Finally, something to wash down all those butter stick snacks with. The video, after the jump....Making Butter at Home
Photograph from Litlnemo on Flickr Butter is one of those things, like yogurt or peanut butter, that most of us would never think of making at home—until you try it and see how mindblowingly easy it is. As a kid, I was fascinated the first time I saw cream transformed into butter. And from that moment on, whenever we had a spare bit of whipping cream, I’d pop it into a Tupperware and shake it until butter grains formed on the lid. Over at Cooking Up A Story, Heather Jones takes a slightly more methodical approach to making her own butter: beating cream in her Cuisinart, carefully rinsing the solids, and churning the clean butter with a potato masher. The...Butter Dispenser for All Your Butter Ribbon Needs
Here's something I never thought (and still don't think) I'd ever need: a butter dispenser that turns a stick of butter into long, thin, easily meltable ribbons of dairy fat goodness. Maxspace has all your butter ribbon needs in clear and opaque versions for $14.99. You can even make other shapes besides ribbons. [via DVICE and Book of Joe]...Photo of the Day: Butyraceous
The word "butyraceous" has not appeared on Serious Eats...until now. I first saw this word last weekend while playing Cranium with some friends—it's probably the only new thing I learned from the game. My friend and I guessed the correct definition: "like butter." God knows comparisons to butter frequently come up on Serious Eats and in my daily conversations (really, it does); I ought to use this word more often. As should you.

My mom's version of Monkey Bread; my version from the King Arthur Flour mix Every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember, my mom would make her version of classic Monkey Bread using Pillsbury dough, with at least a stick of butter and a cup of sugar (if not double of both). I have such fond memories of the bread that I set out to recreate it with the King Arthur Flour Classic Monkey Bread Mix ($12.50, williams-sonoma.com) and its accompanying baking mold ($29.95, williams-sonoma.com). This mix is not about saving time or saving calories; start to finish the process was approximately 3 1/2 hours, including waiting time (and lots of cleaning). For a good laugh, I...Country Life Butter = The New Anarchy?
The Guardian reports John Lydon, singer for legendary punk bands Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd., is fattening up the UK in his first ever commercial for Country Life butter. Lydon was known in the past for his anarchist attitude, but in the last few years has pierced through the souls of TV viewers on British reality TV, Discovery Channel, and VH1. Now, instead of the grating chords of "God Save the Queen" running through their heads, Brits will never forget his intonation of "It's not about Great Britain, it's about great butter!" I'm not sure he'll ever live this one down—especially the part when the cows chase him off-screen. Since we can't embed the video, see the over-enthusiastic...Serious Eats and Neighborhoodies Think Ups T-Shirt #4: I Survived Paula Deen's Deep-Fried Butter Balls
We now present you with our fourth t-shirt in the Neighborhoodies "Think Ups" t-shirt series. Our task was to think up five phrases for food-related t-shirts and hoodies. Earlier this week we gave you the first three: Praise the Lard, Hasta la Pizza, I Eat Food. The fourth involves a theme not new to Serious Eats: Paula Deen and her butter fetish. Make that deep-fried butter fetish. Sometimes I look at one of her recipes and wonder, "Could I survive that?" Similar to riding a scary roller coaster or attending a themed bar mitzvah, survival is questionable. And if you do, well, show it off. All T-shirts and hoodies are American Apparel 100 percent cotton and are available in...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
