How to Keep Butter Soft in the Fridge
- 1). Remove the butter stick from the refrigerator and leave it on the counter until it softens -- usually within 30 minutes.
- 2). Scrape the softened butter from the paper into a bowl.
- 3). Pour 1/2 cup of a cooking oil such as canola or olive oil into the bowl.
- 4). Blend the mixture together with a hand blender until it's thoroughly combined and creamy.
- 5). Place the mixture in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It remains soft and spreadable, even after sitting in the fridge for hours or even days. Make only enough soft butter at a time to last about two weeks.
