    What is Compound Butter?

    There are few things more delicious than rich, creamy Compound Butter. It elevates the flavor of everything from mashed potatoes to steak, is a much-loved morning staple on top of a hot stack of pancakes, and a healthy smear of flavored butter on warm bread straight from the oven is its own kind of bliss. You can think of compound butter as butter's fancier, more sophisticated friend, but it’s surprisingly versatile and easy to make!

    Compound butter is simply butter mixed with various sweet or savory ingredients to make a flavored butter. Mix-ins can include fresh or dried herbs, spices, fruit, and veggies as well as syrups, honey, wine, and spirits.

    Generally, Compound Butter is rolled into log shapes, refrigerated until firm, and then sliced into medallions to serve. However, it is also common to see Compound Butter formed into fancy shapes with the use of silicone molds such as these. You can also serve it at room temperature so the flavored butter is creamy and spreadable if you prefer.

    Ingredients Needed to Make Compound Butter

    To create your own unique flavored compound butter, consider the following mix-ins and ingredients:

    • Herbs: Fresh or dried herbs like chives, dill, parsley, thyme, basil, or rosemary can infuse butter with delightful flavors. Blends such as Herbs de Provence are a good choice also.
    • Spices: Experiment with spices such as garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, or spice blends such as za'atar, furikake, and lemon pepper for added depth.
    • Citrus Zest: Lemon, lime, or orange zest can bring a vibrant zing to your compound butter.
    • Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or coconut sugar are great options for flavored butter that you plan to use on baked goods or hot cereals.
    • Spirits & Oils: Small amounts of wine, spirits, or flavored oils add an additional layer of complexity. Note that liquids can be more challenging to blend thoroughly into the butter, so it's advisable to use them sparingly.
    • Fruits and Vegetables: Fresh ingredients like roasted garlic, caramelized onions, sundried tomatoes, roasted peppers, olives, or minced shallots can offer a big punch of flavor.
    • Specialty Ingredients: Consider using truffle pate, pesto, or other specialty condiments to create more complex flavors.

    How to Make Compound Butter

    Crafting homemade compound butter is a simple process that leaves lots of room for versatility. Follow these straightforward steps to create your personalized flavored butter:

    1. Soften the Butter: Bring the butter to room temperature until it's soft enough to create a deep dent when pressed with a fingertip, but not melted.
    2. Mix the Butter: In a mixing bowl, mix the softened butter using a fork until it becomes smooth and malleable.
    3. Incorporate Mix-Ins: Add your preferred mix-ins to the butter and blend thoroughly until well-dispersed.
    4. Shape and Store: Transfer the seasoned butter onto a square of parchment paper. Shape it into a log by rolling it or with a spatula, then fold the parchment paper over the log, forming a tube. Seal the ends with kitchen twine, a rubber band, or tape. Alternatively, spoon the butter mixture into silicone molds for individual shapes.
    5. Chill Until Firm: Refrigerate the shaped butter until it becomes firm, which can take between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the size and shape.

    How Long Does Compound Butter Last?

    The shelf life of compound butter varies based on its ingredients and how it's stored:

    In the Refrigerator

    • Pure Maple Syrup or Honey: Compound butter with pure maple syrup or honey can stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to several weeks.
    • Dried Herbs & Spices: Varieties containing dried herbs and spices should keep in the refrigerator for about 8-10 days.
    • Fresh Herbs, Fruit, or Vegetables: Compound butter containing fresh herbs, fruit, and vegetables can remain good for about 4-5 days in the refrigerator.
    • Fresh Roasted Garlic: Butter with fresh roasted garlic should be used within a maximum of 2 days when refrigerated.

    In the Freezer

    When properly wrapped and sealed in an airtight container, most compound butters can be frozen for up to 2 months.
