How to Make Simple Spreadable Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, add 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted, cultured butter, softened to room temperature.
  2. Gradually whisk in ¼ cup of expeller-pressed safflower oil (or an 80% canola/20% olive oil blend). If using 100% olive oil, use only 2 tablespoons for a milder flavor.
  3. Continue whisking until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E oil (optional, for added shelf life and antioxidant benefits).
  5. Transfer the spreadable butter to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
  6. Double or triple this recipe easily! Leftovers freeze beautifully in an airtight container.
