If you like the nutty taste of peanut butter and the saltier taste of butter, you may like to try eating peanut butter and butter on a roll. Although only some convenience stores sell them, if you want more, or want to try them out before buying them individually in one of these stores, this article will give you the details.
Ingredients
- Peanut butter (at least 2 tbsp, though some convenience stores use 3 tbsp.)
- Butter (2 tbsp, but must be to taste.)
- Kaiser or similar roll
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Making the Standard Recipe
-
1Get a roll to work with. Traditionally, convenience stores sell these using Kaiser rolls. However, you can substitute these for dinner rolls or hard rolls - it all depends on your preference.
-
2Do not toast the bun. It will taste just as good untoasted as it will toasted. The richness of the nut will come out better when it's left untoasted and untouched.Advertisement

3Slice and open the roll. Use a knife to cut it open and pull back each side so each side is displayed for covering.
- You will often want to use a cutting board for preparation, though this is not a requirement if you don't mind a small cleanup and have time.
-
4Use a butter knife to smear the peanut butter on one side of the roll. Make sure to cover most of one of the sides - right out to the edges.
- Sometimes, convenience stores let some of the spreads spread out and onto the edge of the roll. But you may want to do a taste test first.
-
5Use a butter knife to smear the other side of the roll with butter. Again, make sure to cover most of the other side right to the edge.
-
6Fold this roll so the bottom of one side meets the top smeared side of the other.
-
7Check your alignment, unless you didn't cut the roll all the way through. If you cut all the way through and spread, it may often be just a slight amount that makes it unnoticeable, but some people prefer perfection and have one side lined up with the other with no overhang.Advertisement

Method 2 of 2:
Making Some Modifications
-
1Use jelly, if you don't like the taste of the peanut and butter together. After spreading the butter and peanut butter, coat the butter side with your jelly.
-
2Use less or more of the ingredients and will depend on you.
-
3Avoid sticking any of the ingredients in the fridge. Not only will sticking butter in the fridge provide chunky pieces of butter coming out which will only thaw with a toasted roll, but keeping the butter there isn't needed and won't make it taste any better.
- Peanut butter could be refrigerated, but you may need to taste test the thickness and taste.
-
4Change up your nut butter. If you don't have peanut butter, you can substitute almost any nut butter such as almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, or a similar nutty butter.
-
5Substitute unsalted butter for the salted kind most convenience stores use. You can also use margarine, for the health-conscious approach.Advertisement
