how do I spread cold butter on bread? it clumps up and i don't know what i'm doing wrong

>> No.8030302

You can't, i recommend you take the butter out first thing in the morning, then proceed to make shower, coffee and then the butter should have reached a temperature where you can work with it

make sure you put extra knives in the microwave, it speeds up the process because the metal conducts energy

Use better fats. Like nut butters.

Or even avocados.

>> No.8030436

Spreading cold butter on soft, untoasted bread is just a technique. Slice the butter thinner. Place the pat in the center of where you want the butter, don't work from the edge like with soft butter. Work from the corners of the pat out. Like you're scouring and scraping it instead of trying to spread it directly (this will only cause clumping and rolling, mangling your bread).

A week or so maybe, but you can get little butter boats or any plastic container with a lid and im sure it will last longer

I just slice the cold butter into flat pieces, place it on the bread and wait 5 minutes for it to dissolve a little (thin, flat pieces are melting faster since there is a vast surface for temperature exchange)

It ain't no rocket since, anon

Just set your creme brulee torch to the lowest setting and pass the end of the visible flame over your butter knife two or three times per side.

Easy.

why bother spreading it? just cut thin slice and lay it on top of your slice of bread

You actually don't have to keep butter in the fridge, anon.

Or if you have to, for whatever reason, take it out a couple hours before you're looking to use it.

It should be easily spreadable at room temperature. Maybe your butter dish is in a cold part of your kitchen.

>how do I spread cold butter on bread? it clumps up and i don't know what i'm doing wrong
Well, I kind of shave it off with a knife scrape across the top. But, I admit that for buttering up stuff, I buy a tub of whipped butter, salted. You can whip your own, as well. It does spread better, and it also seems I use a bit less, so I don't notice I have less, but I get less calories.

For all my other uses, I also have stick butter, unsalted.

Stick the blade of the knife in hot water for 30 seconds, wipe, dip, and easy spread.
