*For food storage recipe, replace butter with white beans – cup for cup. For this recipe that would be 2 cups. Use already cooked beans and whip to butter consistency or ground beans, adding water to get to butter consistency.

**For food storage recipe, use 1 tsp. unflavored gelatin dissolved in 2 Tbsp. + 1 tsp. boiling water and 3 Tbsp. cold water. This amount will equal 1 egg.
