Spreadable Butter

[HotSun]

This butter spread is like the Land O' Lakes spreadable butter, but less expensive and more flavorful. I've been fine tuning this recipe for about 10 years and I think this is about perfect now. I recommend using farm fresh butter if you can get it. I use Amish butter, which is very close in flavor to European butter.

Ingredients:

• 1 Pound Unsalted Butter
• 1 1/3 Cups of Canola or other Neutral Oil
• 18 grams salt (modify to taste), very finely ground

Directions:

1. Add butter, oil, and salt in a mixing bowl
2. Allow butter to soften at room temperature, but overnight if necessary
3. Cut butter into smaller chunks to assist with the blending
4. Whip the mixture, starting at a slow speed and increase slowly as the mixture combines
   • Tip: use a splash guard if your mixer has one
5. Continue to whip until smooth and soft peaks appear
6. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and whip until no chunks remain
7. Pour into freezer safe containers.
8. Refrigerate and/or freeze until ready to use

Yield:
About 3.5 cups of spreadable butter

To use:

• Keep refrigerated
• Use as you would any spreadable butter
• This softens quickly at room temperature, but does not separate and can be refrigerated with no issue
• Adjust the salt to dietary or taste preferences

Yeah, this is a weird recipe for a BBQ site, but this stuff is the best.

Paprika Recipe....hopefully this upload works...

I’m definitely going to have to try this!

Interesting

I use a "Butter Bell" and that usually answers the mail for us.

[WayneT]

We store our butter on the counter which makes it imminently spreadable.

[Sid P]

Yep, same here.

[HotSun]

So do we, though that stuff I mainly use for cooking rather than spreading. The spread came about by us wanting to reduce our cholesterol intake, but still eat butter.

[WayneT]

I get you HotSun. We also limit our ‘solid at room temperature’ fats except when there’s a warm baguette around. 😋

I've been blasted my whole life by females for food related things, and the last wife blasted me over having spreadable butter. Geeez, I'll pay the car off and the insurance you drive it, have a nice life!

[Sid P]

Rant alert 😉!

Ok Jerod Broussard here is a receipt for new use of soft butter!

Was a favorite in the 60s

Thanks for this. Saved in Paprika. We’ve always left our butter out on the counter in a butter bell with very rare issues. A little more dicey in this extended south Texas heat wave.

Pourable butter?

[HotSun]

WayneT , for what it's worth, this recipe will be pourable at room temperature. Ask me how I know....🤣🤣🤣

We used a butter bell for a while. I liked the charm of it. But we use more butter for cooking than for spreading on bread, etc. It would sit on the counter for such a long time (as in weeks) that I was scared to use it. So the butter bell got retired.

Maybe I should keep a small portion of spreadable butter in the fridge? Hmmmmm.

During the warmer months keeping butter on the counter is plenty spreadable. During the winter is when I need the spreadable butter since my house stays pretty cold so the butter on the counter never gets very spreadable.

[HotSun]

I had to look up butter bell.... just another container, IMO. Butter dish is sufficient and serves double duty.

[Histrix]

If you want something buttery and spreadable and stored at room temp and won't go rancid anytime soon (aka months) ghee is your friend.
It's easy to make.

[fzxdoc]

I cook a lot with ghee, too. Love the flavor.

[WayneT]

Concur. Ghee is also great for sears.

[HotSun]

Yep, ghee is great, but mainly prefer it for cooking. Yes, super easy to make, too!
