Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Whole-grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Take the butter out of the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature so it softens. This typically takes 15-20 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, whole-grain mustard, chili flakes, lemon zest, salt, and garlic powder.
Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the butter is evenly combined with the seasonings and has a smooth, creamy texture.
Transfer the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log by rolling and twisting the edges of the paper or wrap tightly.
Place the butter log in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up. For faster results, you can chill it in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
Once firm, slice rounds of the Chili Mustard Butter as needed or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
