Need Softened Butter Now? Here's A Trick To Soften It Quicker!

 

 I hate that moment when I am ready to bake and I realize that I need softened butter!

Waiting for cold butter to soften seems to take forever! 

I did find this trick to hurry the process along:

Over a mixing bowl, shred the amount of butter you need on a grater. The little pieces will soften faster than a solid stick. In no time, the butter will be bake-worthy.
