Notes

Tips & Tricks

Make sure butter is room temperature before mixing. When pressed gently the butter should leave an imprint with just a touch of resistance towards the middle. If the butter is too cold it won't incorporate with the other ingredients.

To increase spiciness level mix butter with a bit of cayenne pepper, red chili pepper flakes, or your favorite hot sauce.

Start beating the butter on low before increasing the speed to medium in order to keep it in the bowl.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Allow the butter to come to room temperature before serving.
To freeze roll into a log shape and cover tightly with plastic wrap or wax paper. Place inside a freezer bag and store for up to 6 months. Allow butter to come to room temperature before serving. In a pinch, you can slice off a pat of the frozen lag and it will soften quickly.
