Notes

Tips
  • Use a butter that you like. Butters can differ in flavor, depending on butter fat and if they are cultured, European, or sweet cream. Choose sweet cream for a mild flavor that lets the herbs shine through. Choose a cultured butter for big bold tang that compliments the herbs. So, just know this can affect the flavor of your finished gourmet compound butter.
  • If you're using unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • You can switch up the herbs if you like, go ahead and get creative and use your favorites!
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • You can freeze this for up to 3 months too.
