Homemade Whipped Butter

INGREDIENTS:


1⁄4 cup milk
1⁄2 lb butter. (2 sticks), softened


DIRECTIONS:

Beat milk and butter together until light and fluffy.

This expands the volume by a third and makes it easier to spread.

This is the method used by restaurants to whip butter to make it easier to spread, and for economical reasons to make butter go a lot further too. You can make it fancy like restaurants do by putting this mixture into a cake decorating tube with a fancy tip and pipe it into small dishes for individual servings. I have even used a plastic bag, cut off the corner, placed a fancy decorating tip in the corner, added the butter mixture and piped it into tiny dishes I got at the dollar store. One for each dinner guest is a nice touch. I store the whipped butter in a glass covered container on the counter top in cooler weather. In warmer weather I store it in the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature before using.
