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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
