Ok I came across these totally by accident looking for something else, but what do you think
Butter Buds
Someone is selling sachets of them on ebay and i was wondering if its something that could be used in cooking. I don't know if they melt, although she does say they use them in veg pasta etc., I'm thinking frying mushrooms LOL !!!
I used them on slimming world alot there really good not too sure for dukan thoughQuote:

thanks laura, I just found info about them and it says they can be used in cooking, the nutritional value shows 0 in practically every box, but none of the boxes says carbohydrates !! but they non fat
Frylite do a butter spray, depends what u want it for I suppose
I use butter flavouring, I put a few drops into the water I cook veg in. Makes a nice difference!
just found on the internet, butter buds have 2g carbs per teaspoon
That's pretty good actually when u think what's in fat free yogurtQuote:

wow thanks cheese, won't be buying them then I think, 2g sounds a lot to me, but then I don't really know what is too much, I tend to look at the fat. Its more that when cooking mushrooms I can't stand plain fried ones, yuk, I started adding garlic and herbs but its not the same, this sounded a great alternative........plus there was something else recently that called for butter drops, can't remember what it was now.
dnsf, I just posted on another thread, I bought the butter flavouring, it's a 4oz jar called butter bakery emulsion. It's actually pretty good, if maybe a bit like popcorn butter but it defo adds a nice flavour to veg and the like:

ooo thanks for that cheese. will take a look x
How do you use it though, can it fry like oil.
No no, it's strictly a liquid flavouring. But you can mix in several drops to what you're cooking. I don't think it'll work as a substitute to frying on butter. Damn diets! :-)
i use frylight or as a treat extra virin olive oil xxx
I tried the butter buds from lakeland, thought they were a bit powdery tasting. The frylight buttery is really nice (well obviously not as nice as butter)!! I used to spritz it on mushrooms and they tasted so much nicer than dry frying or plain fry light. x
ah I never thought of buttery frylight, will have to see about getting some. Won't bother with the rest then LOL.
Thanks everyone x
