Here's another approach. If the butter is in a foil wrapper, I carefully open the foil over my bread, holding the wrapper in the palm of my right hand, could be left hand if you're left-handed. I carefully open the foil with my empty hand. Then I place the foil butter side down in the middle of the bread. Then I rub the foil all around on the bread until the butter is pretty much offf of the wrapper. Then I fold up the wrapper and set it aside. This is much easier to do than it is to explain! LOL!
