Ohhh I shall give this a go - I'm trying to only use butter but the price does put me off - we go through so much here - this looks like a great way to eeek it out further.

I used to do this many years ago - I got the idea from Margarite Pattern's book 'We'll eat again' about WW2 food.
The only thing I had problems with was that if you put it on toast it was a bit soggy, but then it is low fat spread really and many of us are used to them now.0 -
Excellent link op.

I'm sure I've read about something similar but they used milk instead of water and I think you can use oil to make a "spreadable" butter?Dum Spiro Spero0

I believe it was further down in that blog that she quoted the variation - ie making spreadable butter. Whichever - the quantities given were 250grammes of butter and 2 Tabsps oil and I have been wondering since I read this whether this "works" - so reportbacks welcome.0

I tried beating milk into butter a while ago and it never worked very well, i ended up with something quite crumbly.:o
I`ve no idea what went wrong but i`ll give it another go in the near future and this time i think i`ll use the electric mixer and soften the butter more, i never thought about adding oil too so i might try adding milk and oil to the butter together.

Hi ceridwen,
There are some old stylers who have tried this and found it to work. Have a look at this thread:
spreadable butter
