Is creamed butter stable for mid or long term storage?
I find creaming butter a pretty annoying process.
I would like to make lots of it at once and aliquot for later use.
Is creamed butter less stable than butter? You wouldn't think so because you are mixing 2 ingredients which virtually have no water (butter and sugar). Does it separate over time?
If indeed it is stable, is there a reason why grocery stores do not sell it?
Best Answer
If you are asking about butter creamed with sugar, you can do this. I would place in an airtight container, maybe with a piece of plastic or wax paper on top, and refrigerate. It should be good for a couple of weeks. Of course, you will need to bring to room temperature to soften before use.

You accomplish two things when you cream butter and sugar: Creaming evenly disperses the sugar throughout the batter, completely dissolving it into the butter. You also increase volume by mixing thoroughly and incorporating more air into your batter.Clarifying Butter for long term storage, package for backpacking
