It’s no surprise that Cass is a butter lover — the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Hubby absolutely loves butter, and so does his mother. Clearly, the love for good butter runs strong on that side of the family.
Just the other day, hubby came home from Lee’s Frozen with a giant 500g block of La Belle D’Andiane Salted Butter — a premium butter made from grass-fed cows. It looked luxurious, but the problem? It was so huge and heavy it didn’t fit into the butter box!
Now here’s the thing: I have zero patience scraping hard butter, especially when I’m in a rush to make breakfast. That’s why I always buy spreadable butter, and Lurpak is my go-to. But my MIL? She only likes the real deal — good quality block butter.
So, in the spirit of keeping everyone happy (and to save our wrists from butter scraping agony), I decided to come up with a solution. I left the butter at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then used a serrated knife to slice it into small, bite-sized pieces. Now, each time we want some butter for our bread or toast, we just take 2 or 3 pieces — no scraping, no struggle.
This little butter hack has been a game changer in our kitchen! Everyone gets to enjoy their butter fix hassle-free, and we still get to savour the richness of premium grass-fed butter.
Do you do this too with your block butter? If not, try it — your mornings might just get a whole lot smoother (and softer)!
