Preparation Steps

In a mixing bowl, combine your selected half cup of softened butter with the corresponding ingredients for the flavored butter recipe you’ve chosen. Use a hand mixer for about 2–3 minutes on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Once your flavored butter is well-mixed and fluffy, allow it to sit at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.
If you wish to serve your flavored butter immediately, it’s perfect for slathering on warm bread or grilled meats.
When ready to serve, remove your flavored butter from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Keep your flavored butter recipes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze in portions for longer storage.
