A pat of butter is a food ingredient made with a Cooking skill of 38. Players can make one by churning a bucket of milk, which gives 40.5 Cooking experience, or a pot of cream, which gives 22.5 Cooking experience, in a dairy churn.

A pat of butter is used by adding it to a baked potato to make a potato with butter. After adding the butter, players can then add additional toppings.

Pats of butter can be bought in small quantities from the Culinaromancer's chest after starting the Recipe for Disaster quest. The stock, starting at 1, increases up to 10 as you complete subquests.

Butter can be made from buckets of milk or pots of cream using a dairy churn. Milk can be bought from various places, which have a stock of 5 available, and can also be obtained for free from dairy cows if you bring your own buckets. Churning is slow, taking 320 seconds to convert 28 milk to butter.

Churning from milk turns one bucket of milk into an empty bucket and a pat of butter, so if you wish to keep the buckets then only 14 butter can be made in one trip. However when churning milk with a full inventory the empty buckets will fall to the ground, and a full load of 28 butter can be obtained. Churning butter from pots of cream also avoids the need to deal with buckets.

Churning a bucket of milk into a pot of cream takes 6 seconds. Churning a pot of cream into a pat of butter also takes 6 seconds. Churning a bucket of milk directly into a pat of butter takes 12 seconds.

Grand Tree Groceries on the second floor of the grand tree can be accessed by trading the NPC, Hudo. The shop stocks 5 buckets of milk and 5 pots of cream and is close to a bank. Players can world hop here to quickly stock their bank full of milk and cream for churning. This is a faster method than milking a dairy cow which takes about 2 minutes and 10 seconds to fill 28 buckets full of milk

There are dairy churns with nearby banks at Sinclair Mansion north-east of Seers' Village, and in Zanaris, where there is also a general store for buying buckets. There is another churn in the Cooking Guild, west of Varrock, but there are no nearby dairy cows.

Another method of churning butter (much slower, only suitable for players training Construction) is:

• Use house teleport to player-owned house
• Build any larder in your POH kitchen
• Search the larder, and take buckets of milk until your inventory is full
• Churn milk into butter in Zanaris (the dairy churn is very close to the bank)

If your house is in Yanille (requires level 50 Construction), simply run to the house portal from the bank, and use the dairy churn between the house and the bank, and return to the bank. Approximate round trip time for 28 pats of butter is 8 minutes, 6 minutes of which is spent churning. With 40.5 Cooking experience per pat of butter, you get 1,134 total experience for a full inventory.

Players with a Player-owned house in Hosidius may use the following method to obtain and churn milk:

• Build any larder in your POH kitchen
• Search the larder, and take buckets of milk until your inventory is full
• Exit your POH and use the churn in the Chief Farmer's house.
• Deposit your butter at the Bank Deposit Box in the saltpetre mine east of the Woodcutting Guild

Brutus drops the bottomless milk bucket, which can hold up to 10,000 uses of milk.
