Small amounts of butter is perfectly fine to leave at room temperature…but only if it’s salted. Unsalted butter will grow mold quickly, but salt will inhibit mold growth for quite a while. Unfortunately exposure to light and oxygen will cause it to turn rancid after 2 days, but it’s technically still edible.

I keep unsalted butter at room temp in a butter dish just fine.
ew salted butter
Well I think unsalted butter tastes gross, but you do you I guess.
Wtf
I’m surprised modern salted butter has enough salt for that. Salted butter in the past was salty to the point of being inedible unless washed AFAIK.
That’s why I take my butter with me when stepping into the morning shower. Saves water, and you can snack a bit!
