The term "butter mixture" refers to a dough or batter that contains butter as one of its main ingredients. This can include both sweet and savory recipes, where butter is used for flavor, texture, or both. In baking, a butter mixture typically consists of butter, sugar, eggs, and sometimes milk or other liquids, combined to create a smooth, spreadable consistency that holds together when worked. The proportions of the ingredients can vary depending on the recipe, with some calling for more butter or sugar than others. In cooking, a butter mixture may be used as a base for sauces, gravies, or other condiments, where the melted butter is combined with other ingredients to create a flavorful addition to a dish.
