Now let’s go over my personal favorite method for softening butter! I like to cut the butter into small cubes and leave them on the counter to soften in the warmest part of my house. This method usually takes about 30 minutes so it’s perfect if I’m not in a rush to start a baking recipe. With this method, I don’t have to worry about accidentally melting the butter or dealing with a messy clean-up afterward.
