Instructions


0 Fill a microwave-safe glass measuring cup almost all the way to the top with water.
1 Microwave the water-filled measuring cup for 2 minutes.
2 While the water is heating in the microwave, set your cold butter upright (feel free to cut the stick in half if needed) on a plate that is larger in diameter than the measuring cup.
3 Once the measuring cup is out of the microwave, carefully pour the hot water out and place the now-empty measuring cup upside down over the plate of butter so that a steamy dome is created.
4 Let the butter sit under the hot measuring cup for 3-5 minutes, until softened!
