Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature (equal to 1 cup)
- 1/2 cup canola oil or oil of your choice: olive oil, avocado oil, etc.
Instructions
- Place the room-temperature butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the whip attachment, whip the butter on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. If you’re using a hand mixer, any bowl will work.
- Slowly pour in the canola oil while continuing to whip the butter on medium-high speed. Whip for another minute until the butter and oil are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Transfer the spreadable butter into a clean, airtight container with a lid. Store it in the refrigerator, where it will stay perfectly soft and spreadable for up to two weeks.
Notes
Tips:
- Flavor Variations: Try using different oils for a unique flavor profile. Olive oil adds a fruity richness, while avocado oil offers a mild, buttery taste.
- Portioning: If making a large batch, consider dividing the butter into smaller containers to keep it fresher longer.
- Room Temperature Shortcut: To soften butter quickly, cut it into small pieces and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before whipping.
