SIMPLE SPREADABLE BUTTER

Simple Spreadable Butter image

This recipe is for butter that is easy to spread straight from the refrigerator. It is similar to the spreadable real butter spreads you find in the grocery store - only it's much less expensive. It contains less saturated fat than butter. What I like best about this recipe is that I can use my favorite unsalted, organic, cultured butter. For the oil, I like to use an expeller pressed safflower oil with added vitamin E. It has a very mild flavor. Sometimes, I also like to use an 80% canola 20% olive commercial blend for the oil. 100% Olive oil can be used, but the finished product tastes strongly of olive oil. I like how this butter works in sautes, too. Due to the addition of the oil, it doesn't burn as easily as straight butter does. The butter will become very soft (almost runny) if left out of the fridge. Be sure to return it straight to the cooler when you are finished with it.

Ingredients

2 c butter
1-3/4 c canola oil (other oils may work well some olive oils may have to strong a flavor)
1-1/2 tsp salt ( i use kosher) or to your taste.~ note i use sweet butter to start (unsalted) but think even with salted butter you might need some extra salt. do it to youtr tase.
ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS YOU CAN ADD
cinnamon and sugar... to taste
herbs of choice
garlic
dryed fruits
lots of other possibilities. oh yes going to make some honey vanilla butter next batch to see how that is.
NOTE:
if it looks too pale add a small drop of yellow food coloring.

Steps:

1. Allow the butter to soften completely, it needs to be very soft.
2. Blend the butter, canola oil and salt. The key is whipping air into the butter to get it fluffy. You can I use a handheld Baun type stick mixer for this task.Or a hand mixer or blender or stand mixer would work as well.
3. It is at this step I add things to flavor the butter. Herbs, garlic, fruit etc. Depending on what I am adding it can be by hand or with the mixer on. Usually do it in the container it is going in if it is just folded in.
4. Pour into containers and refrigerate or freeze. It will keep the fridge as long as the expiration date on the butter you use. So I put in smaller containers and freeze some as usually there is just me at home.
5. It will get thin if you leave it out, but will firm right back up in the refrigerator.
6. Remember do not use in recipes won't work well. I do use it for cooking eggs and sauteing things calling for butter sometimes.

Tips for Making the Best Spreadable Butter:

Use high-quality butter: The better the butter, the better the spreadable butter will be. Look for butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high butterfat content (80% or higher).
Soften the butter properly: The butter should be softened enough to spread easily, but not so soft that it is melted. If the butter is too soft, it will be difficult to spread and will make the toast greasy. If the butter is too cold, it will be hard to spread and will tear the toast.
Add flavorings: You can add a variety of flavorings to spreadable butter, such as herbs, spices, citrus zest, or fruit. This is a great way to customize the spreadable butter to your own taste.
Store the spreadable butter properly: Spreadable butter should be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Spreadable butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of foods, from toast to pancakes to waffles. It is also a great way to add flavor and moisture to your favorite recipes. With these tips, you can easily make your own spreadable butter at home. Enjoy!
