Butter us up.

Parties you host can have a new center of attention once you start molding your own butter. Make butter blocks by simply lining the mold with plastic wrap, filling it with softened butter, allowing to freeze, and then tapping it out. The top of the molded butter circle will have a star and the sides will have scalloped edges.

This is a Polish tradition, and it's especially nice for holiday dinners. Be sure to rinse the mold before using -- and see the care & notes section for details about how to use your mold.
