SOFT SPREAD BUTTER

This is a homemade margarine or soft spread 'butter'. While it is not lower in calorie, it has a higher ratio of unsaturated to saturated fat than butter, and unlike margarine, it contains no trans fat. Create a flavored butter by adding garlic or cinnamon, or anything you chose!

Yield 1 pound

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb butter, room temperature
1 cup water, room temperature
1 cup vegetable oil (can use Canola also)
1/2-1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, process the room temperature butter for a couple of seconds.
  • With the machine running, slowly pour in the oil, then the water in a thin stream to allow the butter to absorb the liquids (this may take several minutes of pulsing and the mixture will be very "loose" like a pudding texture).
  • Pour into a crock or bowl.
  • Freeze or refrigerate until it firms up.

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.

Time 15m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 ounces butter, softened
1/4 cup safflower oil (or your choice of oil)

Steps:

  • In a bowl, use a whisk or a mixer to whip the butter.
  • Gradually mix in the oil. Whisk until smooth.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Any extra butter spread will freeze well in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: This allows you to control the amount of salt in the spread.
  • Soften butter at room temperature: This makes it easier to mix and spread.
  • If you don't have time to soften the butter, you can microwave it on low power for a few seconds at a time, checking frequently to avoid melting.
  • Add your favorite flavors: Some popular options include honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  • Store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Homemade butter spread is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used on a variety of foods. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste.
