Deep-fried butter is a snack food made of butter coated with a batter or breading and then deep-fried.[1][2] The dish has often been served at fairs in the US; among them, the State Fair of Texas in Dallas, Texas, the South Carolina State Fair, the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa,[1] and County Fairs across Ohio. Roast butter is a similar dish, for which recipes exist dating to the 17th century.[3]
