Garlic Butter

I have finally figured out a good ratio of butter to garlic to make, what I think, is the perfect garlic butter.

Garlic Butter
Ingredients
1/2 cup of butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Let butter sit at room temperature until soft.
2. Mix butter and garlic in a bowl until well mixed. 
3. It is ready to use.

Notes
If you use real butter, it will get hard when you put it back in the refrigerator.  Just set it out a little while before you need to use it so it will soften up a bit.

How much does it cost?

1/2 cup butter = $.50
1 teaspoon garlic = $.05

So, one recipe of garlic butter = $.55.  I know you can buy ready made garlic butter at the store, but I've never bought it and will have to check the prices next time I go to the store.
