Sharron's "Half Fat" Butter

I have been threatening to come up with a good way to get my buttery taste on my veggies without being totally "wicked". So tonight I came up with this to dip my artichoke in.


SHARRON'S "HALF-FAT" BUTTER
1 cup buttermilk
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 c. butter
1/2 t. salt

Mix the cold buttermilk and corn starch using a whisk. Start cooking over medium heat, stirring. When it starts to thicken, add the butter and salt. Continue stirring until well blended.

I thought it was pretty good dipping the artichoke in it and then tried it over some
steamed broccoli. It stayed on the broccoli, didn't just run to the bottom of the bowl and tasted great. I forgot to take pictures, so I will make another batch tomorrow and take the pics then.

I just spread it on some toast. It made the toast a little soft but tasted good with jam and as cinnamon toast .

Tomorrow I will try it on corn on the cob . . . YUM!

I tried it and loved it! My daughter who tends to be a little pickier also tried it and said that it was good.

I guess this is actually closer to 1/3 fat. I have been using in on all kinds of foods and really like it a lot. So does my picky daughter!
