Country butter

32 ounces

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Margarine, softened
1 cup Corn oil
1 cup Buttermilk

Directions

1. Whip ingredients together in a food processor or with an electric mixer. Stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator, this spread will keep well for 1 month.

Note: This is a clever way to stretch margarine, while at the same time softening and enriching its flavor a bit.

Whipped Butter: Useing the Country Butter or any purchased butter you can save even more money by whipping it yourself. First, let the butter warm to room temperature and place it in a bowl that you have nestled in a bed of ice cubes. Whip the butter at high speed until it begins to harden harden again and lighten in color. Scrape the sides of the bowl often and stop when the butter begins to stick to the beaters. You can add herbs, spices, honey or other flavorings at this point if you wish. Scrape the butter into a crock or plastic container, cover, and refrigerate. Butter will keep for 3 weeks.
