Compound Butter

Compound butter is butter that has been softened and mixed with additional ingredients to create a sweet or a savory elevated flavor. The mixture is shaped and chilled until firm. It is then sliced into portions and then spread on various foods or used in recipes. It is used to enhance the flavor of many dishes as well as a perfect spread on a hot slice of sourdough bread. This is my kind of simple recipe, so I decided to give it a try. The sky is the limit on different flavors combination. Below are some I have tried. Whipped Feta Butter, Honey Butter and Cherry Preserves Butter
