So much better than butter spreads from the grocery store, it is SO simple to make your own spreadable butter at home. You can use your favourite oil to add extra nutrients or add herbs and spices for extra flavour.

Instructions

  • BEAT BUTTER: Place the room-temperature butter in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor. Use a hand mixer, or run the food processor to beat until light and fluffy.
  • ADD OIL: While beating, drizzle in the oil, mixing well until completely combined. 
  • ADD SALT: Stir through the salt and any other flavourings, then transfer to a butter dish or airtight container and chill until firm.

Notes

The perfect spreadable consistency in the finished butter product will depend on a few factors, the fat content in your regular butter, the type of oil that you use and the temperature of your refrigerator.
Stick with the recipe the first time around and adjust the ratio of butter to oil next time if you are finding it too firm or too soft directly from the fridge.
