deep fried butter

Battered dairy treat

Deep fried butter is a state fair novelty food—a stick or ball of butter coated in batter and briefly submerged in hot oil.

The batter forms a crispy shell while the butter inside melts into a rich, greasy filling.

It exemplifies the American fair tradition of deep frying unlikely foods: We split an order of deep fried butter and immediately regretted it.
