How to Make Homemade Soft Butter Spread
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for optimal blending. Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter into cubes.
- Add the cubed butter to a food processor and process for about 15 seconds until smooth.
- With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in ½ cup of vegetable oil in a thin, steady stream. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Continue processing while slowly adding ¼ cup of ice-cold water in a thin stream. Process until the mixture is completely emulsified and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a covered container (such as a crock or bowl).
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the spread to firm up. Alternatively, freeze for faster firming.
