Compound Butters
Compound butters are very versatile and add a nice touch to a number
of dishes. The sweeter butters are delicious when spread on toast or
served with pancakes, while the more savory ones can enhance the
flavor of a steak hot off the grill, or finish a soup before serving. Our list
is only a suggestion – use your imagination and play around with your
favorite flavors.
