butter flakes are dehydrated butter substitute. the brands i use are butter buds or molly mc butter. i use this along with butter to give a boost of butter flavor in my recipes. i also use it in my rice pilaf, to cut down on the amount of butter used. i belive sam’s club carries molly mc butter. both brands are common and should be readily available in the spice section of your local supermarket.

This sounds like a great recipe, except, what are butter flakes and where do you buy them.
