More Tips for Making Whipped Butter

• Make sure that your butter is softened. Ideally, it should be removed from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you begin whipping it. This makes the task much easier because the butter will not get caught in the beaters and it will combine much quicker with the liquid.
• Milk will make a creamier whipped butter and would be the preferred option. Don't run to the store if you're out, though, water will do just fine.
• Whipped butter should be stored in the refrigerator in a plastic container with a good lid. Recycling an old butter tub is not a bad idea as long as it's clean.
• The whipped butter is stable and should be good for up to 10 days though it will get a little harder the longer it sets.

Add Flavor to Your Whipped Butter

• Add Fresh or Dried Herbs - Basil, chives, oregano, and parsley make great additions to whipped butter. Simply chop fresh herbs or add small amounts of dried herbs while whipping the butter.
