I've only bought the spreadable kind of butter =$$$$. So I bought a regular pound of butter & let it go soft. Added a little less than a cup of olive oil. Whipped it & put it in fridge. It was too hard to use. So let it got soft again, added more oil , whipped it again. Still no better. What step am I missing.

I found this recipe online:
http://www.averagebetty.com/recipes/...butter-recipe/
I'm not sure if using olive oil instead of canola oil would make a difference.
I buy whipped butter and leave it out. Refrigerating it makes it too difficult to spread. This recipe sounds a lot like whipped butter, so I'm wondering if it's supposed to be left outside the frig.
Edit: I see the last post on that website mentions using olive oil and that the refrigerated result was too hard. They didn't post back, though, how it worked with canola oil.

I remember years ago, this came out in one of the woman's magazine, to soften and beat in water. Don't remember the amount of water, are to use electric mixer. I tried it once and decided to much was wasted, trying to clean everything was not worth the pennies I may have saved .
