INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups canola oil

DIRECTIONS:
- In a lidded, plastic storage container stir butter until it has a smooth, frosting-like consistency.
- Slowly, one tablespoon at a time, stir in the first 1/2 cup of oil; mix until smooth. Stir in the remaining oil a little more quickly, mixing well.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours, or until set.
- Store in refrigerator. If the 'butter' melts after being left out, refrigerate to restore solidified quality.
