How to Make Garlic Butter Compound

Butter is a basic kitchen staple. When whipped together with spices and herbs, it becomes a versatile French condiment referred to as compound butter. Compound butter is butter that has been creamed with spices and herbs, formed into a log, and refrigerated until needed. Keep a homemade batch of compound butter in your refrigerator to spread on crusty bread, top a steak, season boring vegetables, or dress up a baked potato.

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 3 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tbsp.chopped parsley
  • Salt

  1. Chop the garlic cloves finely or mash them into a puree.

  2. Place the butter, garlic and parsley in a large bowl.

  3. Combine the ingredients using an electric mixer. Beat the mixture on a medium speed until it is well blended (about two minutes.)
