    • Remove saucepan from heat. Add butter, one piece at a time, stirring with the wooden spoon until mixture is smooth.

    • Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming; wrap tightly. Let cool; refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Store, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
