I have been working on a diary by Henry Parry a Welshman living at Mt Franklin near Daylesford. In the diary he enters "powdered butter" in the local show. I have found many references to powdered butter via Google but no directions about how it may have been made in 1874. One website said it had been "invented" in Australia in 1962. Any ideas? Regards Les Pitt

Hi Les They gave us powdered eggs at boarding school, but I've never heard of powdered butter. Hope anyone with information will post it to the List as we'll all be curious now.

Hi Beryl, Someone did post it to the list (sorry, can't remember who) I thought it was interesting, so I bookmarked it... http://www.foodthatkeeps.com/media/A_Dairy09.html Kind regards, Sherrie.
