Instructions

  1. Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for about 1 hour. Do not melt.

  5. Transfer the whipped butter into an airtight container or jar.

Notes

  • Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness.
  • For a maple twist, replace brown sugar with maple syrup.
  • Try adding vanilla extract or chopped nuts for flavor variations.
  • Let chilled butter sit at room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
