Making Flavored Butters 1 28 2020

Making flavored butters is pretty easy.  It takes only a few ingredients and supplies to make it as well.

First off, you will need butter.  I usually use unsalted butter just so I can control the amount of salt in the finished product, but if you prefer salted then use that.  Make sure this is at room temperature or you will have a heck of a time mixing in the flavors.

Then you will need herbs and spices or whatever you wish to flavor the butter with.  In this video, I make two variations.  The first has minced garlic, basil, thyme, minced onion, and salt. The second has mushroom powder, minced garlic, and minced onion. 

In my video, I used a food processor to mix the butter and flavorings together.  My poor food processor has seen better days and I am looking into replacing it.  Now if you don't own one, don't let that stop you from making it.  You can also use a stand mixer or a hand mixer, whichever you have available and depending on how much you are making at one time.  If you are making only a small amount, the hand mixer may work better since a stand mixer may have difficulty with a small amount. 

Now just because I am making savory items, doesn't mean that is what you are limited to.  I fully intend on making some more sweet ones that can be used on toast or what not.  When I made these savory ones, I didn't have any dehydrated fruit available to mix in.  That will come once fruit is in season again.
