Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb butter, room temperature {salted or unsalted}
3 tbsp whole milk {water or olive oil will also work}

Instructions

Cut butter into cubes.
1 lb butter, room temperature
Add cubed butter and milk to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. If using a hand mixer, choose a deep bowl.
3 tbsp whole milk
Cover the mixer with a clean cloth and mix on low for 2 minutes until butter and milk are well combined.
If using a stand mixer, switch to the whisk attachment.
Scrap the sides of the mixing bowl and increase the speed to medium-high and mix for 3-4 minutes or until the butter is light and fluffy.

Notes

1. Do not try to whip frozen butter. You will burn out the motor of your mixer.
2. If your mixer isn't very robust, you may want to add a bit more liquid, 1 tsp at a time until the butter is whipped to your preference.
3. The volume of butter will increase by 25-30% during the process.
4. You can double or triple this recipe if needed, as long as your mixing bowl/mixer can handle the capacity.
5. If you're adding additional ingredients for flavor, I recommend doing it in the last few minutes of the mixing process.
