Undercover Chef Tip – Butter it Up for Baking

Nothing is worse than starting a recipe and realising you need softened butter in a hurry. So how do you make your butter soft without risk of melting it or needing a micro wave?

Grating it finely allows it to melt quickly into your mixes or pastry without compromising the quality of the butter. It’s small size also allows for quick handling especially when creating delicate pastries, a must to ensure your pastry is light and crumbly.

Just measure out how much you require and pass it over a grater and you’re good to go – happy baking!
