Compound butter takes only minutes to prepare and makes everything it touches better. You can whip up this classic French accompaniment by combining butter with almost anything: fresh herbs, ramps, citrus zest, spices, mushrooms, chilies, miso, or roasted garlic. We even made foie gras butter (so worth it!).
Use this simple technique to add flavor and a fancy garnish to your pork chops, steaks, and burgers, pasta, and more. Our ready-made truffle butter is an example of a how versatile a compound butter can be; we use it on almost everything.
All you need are a few simple ingredients and basic kitchen tools, and you’ll be rolling logs of buttery goodness in no time. See how easy it is to make compound butter below.
