Step-by-Step Instructions for Danish Butter
Begin by allowing butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it’s fully softened.
In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Gently fold the ingredients together.
Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, blend the mixture for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in the optional heavy cream and/or lemon juice. Beat the mixture for another minute until fully incorporated.
Spoon the mixture into an airtight container or silicone mold, smoothing out the top. Cover tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Once chilled, your Danish Butter is ready to be served! Spread generously on bread or pancakes.
Notes
Ensure that butter is fully softened for the best texture. Taste before chilling to adjust sweetness if needed.
