• Worcestershire Sauce
• Salt

How to make Garlic Herb Butter

How to wrap garlic herb butter

If you are not planning on using the compound butter straight away, it’s important to wrap it securely in parchment to prolong its shelf life.

1. Place the butter in the middle of a piece of parchment.
2. Fold the parchment in half over the butter.
3. Use a dough scraper over the parchment to press the butter into a log in the middle of the paper.
4. Cut the excess parchment paper.
5. Roll up and twist the ends.

How long does it keep?

Once you have made and wrapped the butter, it will keep well in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can just cut some off whenever you want to use it and wrap it back up for next time.

Can you freeze compound butter?

Yes! This freezes really well, in fact, I often make several batches and freeze them. Wrap the butter in parchment as above an then wrap it in foil and place in a freezer bag. This will help to protect it from the butter taking on other flavors in the fridge.

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Use unsalted butter for this recipe. If you only have salted, then reduce the amount of added salt.
• Soften your butter before making this recipe. Ideally you should take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before using it. If you are in a pinch, you can gently heat it in the microwave but take care not to melt it.
• If not using straight away, be sure to wrap it once it has chilled.
