Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary (or other edible flowers such as lavender, chamomile, or nasturtium petals)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional)
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or until it softens and becomes malleable but not melted.
Finely chop the fresh rosemary or your chosen edible flowers, ensuring the pieces are small enough to evenly distribute throughout the butter.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the softened butter.
Add the chopped herbs or flowers into the bowl, followed by the optional salt, if desired.
Using a spatula or hand mixer, thoroughly combine the ingredients until the herbs or flowers are evenly incorporated into the butter.
Place the butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
Roll the butter into a log shape and twist the ends of the parchment or wrap to seal it tightly.
Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour, or until it hardens and the flavors infuse.
Slice and serve the butter directly from the log, or transfer it to a small serving dish for immediate use.
