Make Butter Soft: This Trick is Very Quick

How to quickly soften butter

If you want to bake something or spread bread for breakfast, hard butter can be very annoying. To make them soft and spreadable quickly, all you need is a plate, a glass or a bowl, and some warm water. And so it goes:

1. First, put the butter on the plate. You can break these up into small pieces to soften them up even faster.
2. Take a heat-resistant vessel, like a tall glass or bowl, and fill it with hot water. You can either take water from the tap or from the kettle.
3. When choosing the glass or bowl, you should make sure that the diameter is large enough so that the butter on the plate later fits underneath.
4. Leave the vessel with the hot water to stand for 1 minute so that it warms up.
5. Grasp the warm container with an oven mitt and remove the water. You don’t have to throw it away, you can use it straight away for tea or watering flowers.
6. Now put the warm container over the butter on the plate.
7. The butter should now soften again after a short time and you can spread it on your bread without any problems or use it directly for baking.
