Is it an oxymoron to title this "healthy butter?" That is the title of the recipe my grandmother-in-law gave me, so that is what we call it.
Anyways, we have been making this for years. This is our version of spreadable butter. Simply mix 1 pound of butter with 1 cup of olive oil. I soften the butter and then beat the two in my stand mixer, pour it in a bowl and refrigerate. MUCH healthier than margarine or butter-like substance! When you use this, you cut down on your butter intake and increase all the health benefits that come from olive oil. Yeah! I never use this to bake with, though. I'm not sure how it would work.
Enjoy

Interesting! Must try this for my husband. Thanks!
What a great idea! Do you soften the butter and then mix it in the food processor? Stand mixer? Hand mixer?
