A tip for Christmas baking: butter is a fickle ingredient, and not all butters are created equal. Most issues with butter come from the residual liquid left after churning. A quick and simple way to rid yourself of the excess water is to add about a tablespoon of flour and mix it in a kitchenaid mixer. The flour will help to soften the butter, and will draw out the moisture. Butter, eggs, suet and lard are all available at the store for your baking needs.
