stick it in the fridge for a bit, let it harder a little, then start beating it again.I do that ALL the time, it works out fine :D

I did that in the weekend when making peanut buscuits, I ran cold water in the sink and sat the glass mixing bowl in there, then after about five minutes continued mixing, it was still a bit runny but the biscuits came out fine

That's interesting. I've had to change recipes a few times when I ended up with melted butter.Like so many people I've accidentally added and extra 0 on the microwave when 'softening' butter.
Years ago I remember Alison Holst saying that recipes were a chemical formula and melted butterbecomes oil which won't reconstitute to its original state. I've never thought to challenge that, but will try cooling in the future. (you see, already I'm accepting that it probably won't happen immediately but it WILL happen)
