Plugrá Butter Defined.
Plugrá, (pronounced PLOO GRA), is a European style butter lower in moisture and higher in butterfat than conventional butters. Plugrá butter imparts a richer taste and smoother texture to foods and is long preferred by leading chefs, bakers, confectioners and anyone who appreciates fine food.
What's the Difference?
Regular butter contains 80% butterfat. The remaining 20% consists of water and milk solids. Plugrá European Style Butter contains 2% more butterfat and is slow-churned in a way that creates a lower-moisture, creamier texture than other butters.
When Should I Use Unsalted Plugrá Butter?
In the preparation of baked goods, confections, pastries, sweet goods, sauces and as a spreading butter. Any time a recipe calls for butter, we recommend using Unsalted Plugrá butter. This allows you to control the salt content like a professional baker or chef.
When Should I Use Salted Plugrá Butter?
Salted butter is best served at the table. It may contain more salt than called for when baking or cooking. You may serve it in slices, whipped or in a small ramekin. For a decorative effect, use a melon-baller, pipe it through a pastry bag or curl it with a spoon.
Why is Plugrá Butter Better for Baking?
Plugrá butter contains less water than regular butter. Lower moisture means that cakes will rise higher, cookies will crisp more evenly and pie crusts or croissants will be flakier. A higher butterfat content means that all your baked goods will taste better when baked with Plugrá butter.
What is Plugrá Clarified Butter?
Plugrá clarified butter is the pure golden liquid remaining when butter is melted and the water and milk solids are removed. Because the milk solids have been removed, Plugrá clarified butter has a higher smoke point than regular butter and therefore may be used to cook at higher temperatures. The absence of water means no splattering in the frying pan and additionally, the lack of milk solids allows clarified butter to be stored without refrigeration for up to six months.
When Should I Use Plugrá Clarified Butter?
Plugrá clarified butter is ideal for dipping seafood, sautéing, grilling, preparing sauces and making confections.
