Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick of butter

Instructions
 

  • Carefully place the butter in a microwave-safe plate and microwave it for around 15 seconds on defrost setting.
  • Check the consistency of the butter and repeat the procedure if it has some more softening to do.
  • Once the butter has reached its desired consistency, remove it from the microwave and add it to your recipe.

Notes

You shouldn’t microwave your butter at full power or it will become a melted mess and you’ll have to start all over again with a new stick of butter.
