How to Make Homemade Whipped Butter

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 2 tablespoons of whole milk.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5-7 minutes. The volume will increase noticeably.
  3. For individual servings, transfer the whipped butter to a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off and a tip inserted). Pipe into small dishes.
  4. Store whipped butter in a covered glass container at room temperature in cool weather or in the refrigerator in warm weather. Bring to room temperature before serving.
