Swimming the channel is not an option!

Due to a cockup an oversight, I doubled up on butter, and it was on BOGOF so I've 2 x 500g butter to use by Mar 16th - what can I do? Puff pastry and freeze it?

It wouldn't last long in this house. I'd make cakes with loads of butter icing

I think you can freeze it as it is?

Freeze the butter.

I do it all the time as we can only buy salted butter in France.

Oh thanks, I didn't know you could freeze it. Saves me having to post another thread on how to use up puff pastry!

freeze the butter

Or just use as you would... It will fine for a few weeks longer than it says, honestly

Salted butter lasts a lot longer than the Use-By dates. I've eaten butter that was forgotten and stored away in a cool shed for over 6 months. It was fine, we were fine for eating it. No ill effects!
