The Joy of Butter!

[Nettie]

Damn you Bathsheba (in the nicest possible way!).

Since reading this thread, I've thought about nothing but pure butter...

I even went and bought a butter dish today so I could use plain butter instead of the blended crap on bread & stuff.

I've been baking with the 'good' butter and basically have become a butter snob! I even made bread & butter pudding the other night! The best I've ever made!

*sigh*.. now I feel like fresh bread with lashings of butter....

For those who keep their butter out of the fridge... what kind of temperature ranges are we talking as far as 'safe to eat' goes??
I *love* using real butter on things, but it's just too darn hard to spread... and in Central Queensland I worry that it's far too warm to keep dairy on the bench instead of in the fridge...
