Compound Butter

Creating flavored butters is a quick and easy way to add a burst of flavor to your food.

• Let the butter come to room temperature and then combine all ingredients in a bowl.
• Mix ingredients by hand until thoroughly combined. Then place the butter mixture on a piece of parchment paper.
• Fold the parchment paper over the butter, roll the paper into a cylinder and twist the ends shut. Refrigerate the butter mixture until firm.

Compound butters can be kept refrigerated for several days. They can also be frozen for several months by being wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in plastic freezer bags.
