Adding More Butter
One of the simple pleasures in life is warm toast smeared with a generous serving of soft butter. However, in hotel buffets and continental breakfast bars, this small pleasure can turn into a huge ordeal, namely because butter is served in small pats that are ice hard and almost impossible to spread.
There is, of course, a simple solution which only involves a little forethought. After you collect your butter pat, leave it on top of the toaster or another warm surface like the top of a warming drawer to soften while your bread toasts. And by the time you’re back at your table, you’ll be ready to spread that buttery goodness.
