🥘 Ingredients

Check off ingredients as you prepare them:

Butter is softened when you can press your finger into it to make an indent but your finger doesn't push all the way through the stick.

Leave the butter on the counter for at least ⏱️ 45 minutes before baking to allow it to soften.

Quick Ways to soften butter

Slice your butter and allow it to sit at room temperature - it will take less time.

Place butter in a gallon size ziploc bag or between sheets of wax paper and pound it with a rolling pin to flatten.

Heat on 50% power in ⏱️ 5 second increments in the microwave, rotating the stick every time.

Place hot water in a glass then remove the water and invert it over the stick of butter and allow it to sit for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
