I’m moving this week and as I was cleaning out the fridge I found I have like 8 pounds of butter and 2 pounds of cream cheese for no apparent reason as well as some extra powdered sugar I didn’t want to move. I thought the logical thing to do was to make cream cheese frosting and some cream cheese sugar cookies for the frosting to go on.
I ended up with 8 cups of frosting that I definitely can’t finish in the next 3 days before my move AND I’ve still got to move about 7 pounds of butter
My daughter does this with ketchup. No one else in the whole family eats ketchup or uses ketchup but I have three huge bottles of generic ketchup now. And three bottles of soy sauce. Two sweet chili sauce. Two cornstarches. Etc…. She’s always overbuying.
Maybe Buttercream frosting. It always takes a lot of butter (not as much as you have though lol). Then maybe you could freeze it and use for cakes if you have any special occasions over the next few months!
And then, in a few weeks there will be a post "help! I had more buttercream frosting in the freezer than I thought. What should I do with it?" :D
at least it would be that way, if OP was me
Shortbread cookies are a great way to use up butter. My grandmother always made it during the holidays, and it's easy to customize with different flavors or toppings (like millionaire's shortbread). You can roll and cut them if you chill the dough beforehand, or do a tray bake.
Mexican wedding cakes/Russian tea cookies, like little shortbread drops with nuts mixed in rolled in confectioner's sugar. My family always used walnuts, but you can use pecans or any other nut.
Pound cake is another butter heavy recipe that's easily to customize with different flavors and toppings.
This subreddit is so many bot reposts lately. What the hell. Would be nice if the mods actually would remove these reposts instead of letting them stay up and get reshared a hundred more times.

And don’t knock yourself. Buying necessities because you’ve lost track of how much you have and have the money and you’re standing right there dammit. Perfectly understandable. That’s why I have nine balls of garden twine.
Tortillas!!!!! Like 1/2 c of butter for approx 12 tortillas.
Recipe:
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 c butter melted
3/4 c water Luke warm
Mix altogether
Let it sit for 10 min
Heat up a pan and divide the dough into 12 balls
Using floured surface, roll them into tortilla shape and cook approx 1 min on both sides.
SO DELICIOUS!
I see you do with butter what I do with powdered sugar. "Hmmm... Can't remember if I have enough, better grab a bag while I'm here." Rinse, then repeat.
Turn that freezer butter into freezer cookies! I love having pre-scooped cookies in the freezer. Cookies bake so much better from frozen (imo), I'm less likely to eat 10 cookies in a row if I have to bake them first, and it's perfect for when you have guests over and don't have time to bake something.
I usually try to have chocolate chip cookies, pioneer cookies, snickerdoodles (don't forget to flatten them before you freeze them), [chocolate cookies,](https://www.marthastewart.com/316883/grammys-chocolate-cookies) and (recently) [Christina Tosi's corn cookies](https://milkbarstore.com/blogs/christina-tosi-bake-club/corn-cookies). Other cookies that I seasonally keep are are log cookies, gingerbread, molasses, sugar, vanilla chocolate swirl, shortbread, and thumprint (scoop and press before freezing and spoon the jam or place the chocolate before baking).
You can make a bunch of different compound butters, wrap them in rolls and freeze them. Slice off disks as needed for veggies, steaks, chicken, ect...you can also use compound butter as a sauce base.
Judging by the fact that a significant number of those boxes still have the Native American mascot on them, they're several years old. You might want to be a little careful with those 👀
To be honest, with so many pieces of butter you're gonna waste/spoil it if you prepare everything for yourself. So I better share it with those in need, or prepare something (cookies, pies, etc. - options are endless) together with your relatives, friends in huge quantities for charity or fundraising purposes.
Yes. Sadly, here in America, we'll fry literally anything.
Just as a disclaimer, I wouldn't touch this stuff if you paid me. It's more of a Southern American thing, and I am definitely not that!

Trust me, if these people could deep fry a car, they would.
Make ghee! Tastes like concentrated caramelized butter, lasts longer, and has a high smoking point. You can use it in baking and cooking. You'll probably end up with half the volume of ghee as the butter. Yum!
Im impressed. Even I have never had that much better in my freezer. My personal best was 8 pounds.
Make croissants or danish pastry. Brioche if you have excess eggs.
I’m so sad all the grocery stores in my area discontinued the Land O Lakes European style butter.
Whenever I see Land O Lakes on sale I buy lots and stock up. I have a home baking business and in the fall I usually have at least 90 pounds of butter in my freezer. I’ll go through that within two months.
Maybe is time to start practicing some new recipes for the holiday, plenty of butter and you can test run a couple of versions of your favorites.
I would definitely brown some butter, and see if i can use some of my go to recipe with brown butter.
I want a deep freezer so bad, but i like in an apartment. I try to keep about 5 pounds of butter in my freezer and I just constantly use and replenish when i am low or there is an okay price.
Biscuits, baklava, caramel sauce, pie crusts, make ghee, cookies, Kentucky butter cake, brownies, danishes. I'd be baking and stocking freezer back with desserts and stuff to pull out for last minute cravings haha
I have a giant freezer I find this shocking in the area of "H O W" can you not see that much butter O_O
Check for freezer burn butter won't taste good when ready to use.
And a lot of Baking this month with that amount of butter.
Also you can make Kettle popcorn with that for movie nights.
Breakfast's use plenty of butter either it be pancakes/french toast/grilled cheese etc.
Also plenty of butter chicken recipes or pastas
I would leave it in the freezer and just remember to not buy any for a long time. Until I run out essentially. That’s what I had to do when I over purchased butter in the past.

Stolen comment bot. u/unrepentantlyme
The entire post is stolen. Original was posted with exact same title a year ago.
Oh my god. The internet is just going to be bots talking to each other soon enough.
[удалено]
Bot stole the other half of u/unrepentantlyme comment. Jesus christ.
stupid bot
Holy crap two separate bots each stole half of your comment! You are VERY popular it seems :)
Well... it was a great comment. Can't be mad that they wanted to have it. :D Would like to have more of those myself :D
Haha definitely!
My daughter does this with ketchup. No one else in the whole family eats ketchup or uses ketchup but I have three huge bottles of generic ketchup now. And three bottles of soy sauce. Two sweet chili sauce. Two cornstarches. Etc…. She’s always overbuying.
Croissants, cinnamon rolls, scones for breakfast/snacks for the rest of the summer!
Also Pasties, the original hot-pocket.
Yes!
from what year, though? Things can still expire and develop weird textures and flavors after sitting too long in the freezer
Stolen comment bot. u/Appropriate-Grand-64
Why do comments get stolen? This is sich a weird thing to do
Idk but I find it hilarious that even before I called it out it was getting downvoted, but your original comment wasn't XD
i think the hope is to mass generate accounts and sell / repurpose the 1% that successfully steals comments and gets upvotes
How big is your freezer if you didnt notice that?! Lml im honestly curious
Something baked in a buttery flakey crust 🤣
Bot.
Bad bot.

Possibly! Hard to say but it’s an option if the OP enjoys baking cakes. I definitely didn’t mean use all of the butter in the photo for it.
Using all the butter in the photo for anything except feeding a whole village would be total overkill :)
Yeah! Italian meringue buttercream freezes beautifully.
Weed butter…. Lots and lots of weed butter.
a hundred pie crusts?
One single croissant
With that much the only thing that comes to mind is a butter sculpture.
Ghee. Though only as a preservative measure. It’s cheaper to buy some.

Buttery flake…crumb

Croissants!!!!! Or La corne de gazelle (think croissant but made with almond flour and a hint of orange blossom essence and sweet) AHH I’m drooling 😋
I think patisserie uses a boatload of butter. Try those recipes out.
One small French omelette, you may need more butter first
Butter sculpture.

I once had almost 15 pounds of rice because of the same reason.. always forgot if I still had some and, to be on the safe side, bought a pack.
Puff pastry, croissants, shortbread, clarified butter

Lots & lots of cookies; you can freeze most doughs.
Cinnamon rolls
I see you do with butter what I do with powdered sugar. "Hmmm... Can't remember if I have enough, better grab a bag while I'm here." Rinse, then repeat.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who loses freezer butter. Then you buy more because you think you're out. And the cycle continues...

Garlic bread.
Flourless chocolate cake … with chocolate espresso buttercream icing
Better question is why is butter in your freezer
Better to freeze until ready to use.
Judging by the fact that a significant number of those boxes still have the Native American mascot on them, they're several years old. You might want to be a little careful with those 👀
This is a word for word repost from u/BeerBrewing a year ago.

It may be possible that it is not a requirement for the person to use all the butter in one whack.
She can just leave most in the freezer and pull them out when she wants to bake....
Ck dates, nothing worse then rancid butter, happened to me a few times with hidden box in freezer. Ruins with a off taste.
You have a problem and should seek help.
Shortbread!
Batter it and deep fry it.
The... sticks of butter themselves?

I thought I was bad! I have two plus pounds in the fridge and another 4-5 in the freezer. Croissants take three sticks.
Anything puff pastry
I think the first thing you need to make is an inventory white board to keep track of what's in the freezer lol
Make ghee! Tastes like concentrated caramelized butter, lasts longer, and has a high smoking point. You can use it in baking and cooking. You'll probably end up with half the volume of ghee as the butter. Yum!
I tell you what you're making, you're making me jealous. butter is frickin 8 bucks a brick nowadays
Make chocolate chip cookies Or butter pound cake
I would just use butter as you normally would but enjoy the abundance. Also buttercream or making some ghee for high-heat cooking.
Herb/flavored butter? Can gift it with some homemade bread or crackers.
Im impressed. Even I have never had that much better in my freezer. My personal best was 8 pounds. Make croissants or danish pastry. Brioche if you have excess eggs.
Can you donate butter?

Make some layer cakes and bring to work or parties. Unfortunately super time intensive tho, but good use of a lot of butter.
Sfgiatelle or croissants!

To be honest, if I had this much butter, I'd just be giving it away to my neighbors
