You're the Butter to My Bread- Flavored Butters

Pin It Now! It's time to rethink the way you butter your bread. Be careful, I am about to blow your mind!


On top of that boring old roll you spread, hold on, wait a minute... Flavored. Butters.



So simple! But so complex! And so... buttery! Mind = blown.

Serve one flavored butter, or six flavored butters, with your Thanksgiving dinner to give those boring rolls some extra pizzazz!






Bourbon Butter
Yields: 6 to 8 servings


Ingredients: 
1/2 cup salted butter, softened
1 TBS + 1 tsp bourbon

Directions:
1. In a bowl, using a fork, diligently combine all of the ingredients. Place into a ramekin and cover it, or roll into a log in waxed paper and tie the ends, and store in the refrigerator to harden for approximately 4 to 6 hours before serving.

  5. I am a big fan of flavored butter. I always have in a fridge roll of fresh garlic & parsley butter. It's the best thing for steaks. I also love honey butter.

    I have to try your bourbon butter....that sounds delicious.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
