Healthy Apple Cake

There are occasions that I feel like cooking at the spur of the moment, however many of the recipes that I love to cook and the one below require butter at room temperature and I tend to keep my butter in the fridge (it get’s too soft here in the warmer months in Queensland), which means it rules out many recipes.  So I want to share my trick with you on how to easily cook a ‘butter at room temperature’ recipe with cold butter.

{The Organised Housewife} Cold to Room Temperature butter tip

My tip is to grate the butter, step away for a few minutes then it will be ready for you to use in your recipe.

Western Star Original Butter is great for savoury dishes with sauces and pie crusts and the Western Star Unsalted Butter is suitable for everyday cooking and baking with only two ingredients, cream and water.  Good to know exactly what we are eating!

Fold through flour, baking powder and cinnamon.  Such precision.  I did teach her how to scrape the excess off with a knife afterwards.
