Ingredients
Instructions
- Let the margarine set at room temperature until soft.
- Cream the margarine until smooth and soft.
- Add Mazola oil and whip until well combined.
- Add buttermilk and continue beating until fluffy.
- Transfer the whipped margarine into four 1-cup containers or two large containers.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure the margarine is softened completely at room temperature for easier whipping. If you prefer a lighter texture, consider using a lighter oil such as avocado oil instead of Mazola. If buttermilk isn't available, you can substitute with a mixture of milk and vinegar to achieve a similar tangy flavor. This whipped margarine can also be flavored with herbs or spices for a unique twist.
Serving Suggestions
This whipped margarine is perfect for spreading on warm bread or muffins and pairs beautifully with Norwegian Fattigman for a delightful treat. Use it as a base for creating flavored spreads or as a substitute in baking to add moisture. It can also be used in place of butter in many vegetarian recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover whipped margarine in airtight containers in the refrigerator. It should last for about 2-3 weeks. To reheat, allow it to sit at room temperature for a short time before using, as it can become too firm when chilled. Stir gently to restore its creamy texture if needed.
