Notes
Note 1: Softened butter should be slightly cool to the touch and hold its shape when poked. Cut into cubes and let sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to 1 hour to soften quickly. For a faster method, microwave for 8 seconds, flip, then microwave for another 8 seconds. Watch carefully to prevent melting.
Storage: For refrigeration, transfer the butter onto parchment paper or plastic wrap, roll into a log, and chill in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month or at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Freezing: Roll butter into a log on parchment paper or plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer-safe container, label, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
