How to Turn one stick of Butter into two
During the World War II food shortages, people were forced to make the most of what they had. This is one idea that was used in my family to stretch our food budget.
Just beat one half cup of lukewarm water into one softened stick (1/2 cup) of butter. If you use a mixer, start slowly to prevent splattering. Add small amounts of water at a time and keep beating until the water all of the water in added into the butter. The mixture will be smooth and fluffy, and you end up with one cup of soft butter. After the butter has been refrigerated it will become as firm as regular butter. Cover and store in frig. Lucille Cargin Parry (my husband mother)
