Butter Curls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup hot water

Preparation

To make butter curls, start with a stick of butter that has been at room temperature a few minutes but is still firm. The butter needs to be soft enough to peel without falling apart but cold enough to hold its shape. Heat spoon or butter curler in the very hot water, then pull firmly over the stick of butter to form curls. If the curls break the butter is too cold. Reheat the butter curler as needed.
