"Soft" butter?

[Dave Hutchins]

one place where i worked use to whip their butter and then add butter milk to it all while whipping. it had a distinctive taste. I think it was a stretcher as they were on the cheap side of things

My grandmother used to make something like this ... just softened butter, an electric mixer to whip in air (basically just creaming), put it in a bowl and refrigerate.

Thank You Katie E. I made up a pound last night, works just like you said it would.

I like to use spanish olive oil when I do this. Additionally depending on what I am cook I will lace it with herbs. Adds a little suprise to butter bread. Becareful with the herbs some can be a bit over powering. All I can say is experiment.

You can buy this in the store, whipped or softened, but the nice thing about making it at home is you can flavor to your personal taste, and has been pointed out it is cheaper too.
