Flavored Butters
NapaStyle : Episode FLNST-208
These flavored butter recipes start with half a cup of softened butter. You can create different flavors in your butter by mixing in different herbs and spices — once you have the basic recipe down, try other combinations. These butters are simple to make; just mix the ingredients in a small bowl and beat the mixture until it's fluffy. If you don't use all of it, roll the rest into a log shape and refrigerate or freeze it.
