The hot new foodie trend taking over TikTok is a “butter platter” — a bizarre grazing-style dish with decorated butter and served as a dip or spread.
The dish calls for good quality butter – cool but not hard – spread on a plate with a palette knife.
Foodies have tried endless combinations of toppings to decorate their plates, including edible flowers and figs, honey, nuts and spices, and crumbled feta with sun-dried tomato.
Justine Doiron (@justine_snacks) started the butter plank trend after uploading her now viral video on TikTok
The plate is simple to make and can be an easy snack, appetizer or even an arty addition to a dinner party.
US-based recipe developer Justine Doiron (@justine_snacks) is said to have launched the trend.
She posted the original video to TikTok on September 16 with the caption, “I like this one, I don’t know, I’m in a crazy goofy butter mood.”
Since its publication, the video has been viewed more than 7.8 million times.
By now, there are thousands of results for #butterboard on the sharing platform.
One of the newest Aussie foodies to try the butterboard is digital food content creator Michael Finch, who lives on the Gold Coast.
New variations of the butter board have already been created, including a Middle Eastern-inspired labneh board, desi chaat board, and a cream cheese board.
Another foodie, Naidia Aidi (@foodmymuse), cheekily tagged Justine Doiron in her butterboard attempt, commenting:
“All I want to say is you’re an evil genius and my buttery heart thanks you.”
Other fans expressed their enthusiasm for the recipe under Justine’s post.
‘Love this idea, fancy butter for life’, ‘Omg my life has changed’.
Justine shocked the internet when her butterboard recipe exploded
Foodies have used a delicious array of toppings to decorate the butter boards, from edible flowers to sun-dried tomatoes
The dish has replaced numerous trends that preceded it, including cheese boards, dessert boards, snack boards, and fruit boards.
However, not all foodies were happy with the recipe as a sharing plate.
‘I love this. But… I’d rather throw this plate away after that than try to wash it.”
The butter platter can be eaten as a dip or spread with good quality bread
During Covid everyone wore gloves, masks and stayed one and a half meters away. Now we share tables of bite-sized foods and scrape butter off the same plate.”
“No thanks, I don’t trust double dippers. I would do this for myself, though.’
“I don’t trust most people to properly wash their hands or not double dip, but this would certainly be fun, solo or with a significant other.”
