3 Ways to Soften Butter

Did you forget to take the butter out early? No problem!

• SLICE IT! Cut the butter lengthwise. Stack and slice lengthwise again. Re-stack; slice butter crosswise to make cubes. The cubes will soften in about 15 minutes.
• ROLL IT! Place the butter between 2 sheets of waxed paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the butter flat.
• GRATE IT! Partially unwrap the butter (use the wrapped half as a handle), and shred it using the largest holes of a box grater.
