Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 60 milliliters Neutral-flavored oil (such as vegetable, grapeseed, or canola oil)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, to taste)
Instructions
1. Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. The butter should be soft but not melted.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter, neutral-flavored oil, and the optional salt.
3. Using a whisk, a hand mixer, or a stand mixer, blend the mixture together on low speed at first to avoid splattering. Then increase to medium-high speed, mixing until the oil is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Check the consistency. The mixture should be soft, smooth, and spreadable. If needed, you can adjust the salt to taste and mix again briefly.
5. Transfer the spreadable butter to an airtight container for storage. Smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula.
6. Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to firm up slightly. It will remain spreadable even when chilled.
7. Serve as a topping for your favorite breads, pancakes, or roasted vegetables. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
