Description
Whipped butter is a light, fluffy, and spreadable version of classic butter, perfect for enhancing bread, muffins, and more with a creamy texture and gourmet flair.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted or salted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Optional: a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter
Instructions
- Place the softened butter into a mixing bowl.
- Add the milk or water.
- Using an electric mixer or the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, beat on low to medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Increase the speed to high and whip for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until the butter becomes light, creamy, and airy.
- Transfer the whipped butter to an airtight container. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, use butter that is fully softened to room temperature.
- Whipped butter is not suitable for baking due to the added air and liquid.
- Flavor variations like herbs, honey, or fruit purée can be added to customize the spread.
- Let butter sit at room temperature for easier spreading if refrigerated.
