  • Then with your measured 2 cups of olive oil drizzle it into the butter as it is mixing.

SPREADABLE BUTTER

Make your own spreadable butter or you can call it margarine. Just three ingredients butter,canola oil and salt. No preservatives or additives and you can freeze it also. Always wondered what to use all those small storage containers i have in the cupboard. Makes that butter stretch out so is nice on the budget. But do...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.
