How to Make 7 Flavorful Butter Twists

  1. In a food processor, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) of room-temperature salted butter with your choice of flavor combination (see options below).
  2. Process until the butter is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the flavored butter to a serving dish or piping bag.
  4. Serve immediately for a soft, spreadable texture, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
  5. Best served at room temperature for optimal flavor and spreadability.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
