Overview

Butter is a rich and delicious food that can be found in many recipes. What would mashed potatoes be without butter, and how could we stomach toast without a melting square of buttery goodness on top? Think of the pancakes, people! We know we’re not the only butter fanatics out there, so we’re giving away a Waring Pro® Rotisserie Turkey Fryer and Steamer and a Boska Homemade Butter Kit for the best Instructable that uses butter as an ingredient.

Apple, pumpkin, and nut butters need not apply. We’re only looking for projects that use butter or butter substitutes for this challenge. That being said, we’d be delighted to see your butter sculptures, hacks, vegan alternatives, and all recipes, savory or sweet, that use the magical ingredient — that includes recipes for making your own butter!

We’re also pleased to announce that we’ve appointed a special guest judge for this contest, Rosie Cake Diva. Rosie Dummer is a food artist from Manchester, UK. This artist has a sweet tooth, and her preferred mediums are cake, frosting, and fondant. She also hosts a baking show on YouTube where she shares her culinary knowledge with others. Check out her videos for some tips on with working with fondant, or visit her Facebook page for even more delicious, inspiring posts.
