BUTTER - Smoked Butter

By Unblond1

Ingredients

• 1 lb Unsalted Butter, large dice
• 1/2 oz. Pedro Ximenez Solera Vinegar
• Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
• PolyScience Whiskey Barrel or Applewood Smoking Gun™ Chips

Preparation

Step 1

Let butter soften to room temperature in a stand mixer bowl or stainless steel mixing bowl.

Season the butter and add vinegar.

Whip the butter on medium speed in a stand mixer with whip attachment. Scrape sides and whip.

This step can be done with a silicone spatula, if a stand mixer is not available.

Wrap the top of the bowl with plastic wrap. Use the PolyScience Smoking Gun™ and trap enough smoke to form a dense cloud under the plastic. Let stand, undisturbed, for 5 minutes.

Release smoke, remove plastic wrap and whip/fold to incorporate smoke flavor.

If a stronger smoke flavor is desired, repeat steps 4 and 5.
