Better Butter

For those of us that like to cook with real butter and olive oil and try to stretch it as far as it can go, you are going to love this. I got this idea from my mother and it is fantastic.

  1. 1
    Let your butter get to room temperature and place in mixer (if you're using a hand mixer then place it in a medium to large bowl).

  3. 3
    Then with your measured 2 cups of olive oil drizzle it into the butter as it is mixing.

Truck cook , I totally agree with the other reviewers, this is great .. I used canola oil and 1/2 lb butter also.. so much better than just using butter to fry eggs and have it burn. Thanks for the posting.

    I love having this stuff in the fridge! I have made this both the way stated and by cutting the oil to 1 cup. As a spread, I think we prefer it with only 1 cup of oil to 1 lb butter. Increasing the oil doesn't make it any more spreadable straight from the fridge and the flavor isn't as rich. In general, it reminds me of the spreadable butters you buy in the store, you still have to let it warm up a little before it spreads easily.

    Gosh TruckCook, what a wonderful idea!! I'm on my second container already! the butter is so easy so spread, and has a fluffy texture, and not to mention, wonderful for frying also. I used Canola oil in place of olive oil...and cut the butter to half a pound, and the oil to 1 cup.... I will always have this handy in the fridge, it makes things so much easier. Just make certain to really beat the butter and oil until really fluffy. Thank you so very much for a wonderful idea!...Kittencal

    Wow, I don't have to buy butter/margarine style spreads anymore! I'd rather have the saturated fats from butter than all those hydrogenated fats in spreads; plus real butter tastes better, but it doesn't spread very easily. This way I get all the taste of butter, with reduced saturated fat & more "good" fat, plus it spreads just as well as any commercial spread! Brilliant! I also added a little flaxseed oil to mine to increase the levels of essential fatty acids.
