Today’s feature is from Choosing Voluntary Simplicity with a tip for How To Turn One Stick Of Butter Into Two, I’ve also included another recipe plus tip below:

Extended butter is easy to make. Just beat one half cup of lukewarm water into one softened stick of butter. If you use a mixer, start slowly to prevent splattering. Add small amounts of water at a time and keep beating until the water is thoroughly incorporated into the butter. The mixture will be smooth and fluffy, and you will end up with one cup of soft butter. After this soft butter is refrigerated, it will become as firm as regular butter.

Cool tip! Please visit the site for full details. Use extended butter to save money on groceries but also to save on calories (less fat). The site doesn’t recommend it being used for baking.

Another recipe I found for making extended butter is from Raising Arrows (Extended Spreadable Butter ~ A Tutorial). This recipe calls for 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 tsp liquid lecithin, 5 oz water and 1 lb of butter and makes a nice spreadable butter.

In an old cookbook of mine, I found this tip for extending butter:

• To one pound of butter, gradually cream in one tall can of evaporated milk and a little salt. Chill and you have two pounds of delicious spread.
