Preparation
Step 1
1. Soften the butter, then stir in salt and flavorings to taste.
2. Once the ingredients have been combined, place the butter mixture in the center of a piece of plastic wrap. Fold one edge of the plastic wrap over the butter. Glide your hands back and forth over the butter to shape it into a cylinder. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap shut and refrigerate until firm.
3. Compound butter can be kept refrigerated for several days or frozen for up to a month. To use, simply slice off the desired amount and continue to store the rest.
