Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature, ensuring it is soft and easy to mix.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Use a spatula or spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Taste the compound butter and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more honey for sweetness, mustard for tanginess, or salt to taste.
Place a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap on a flat surface, and spoon the butter mixture onto it in a rough log shape.
Roll the parchment or plastic wrap tightly around the butter, forming it into a smooth cylinder. Twist the ends to seal.
Refrigerate the compound butter for at least 1 hour to firm up before using, or freeze it for longer storage.
When ready to use, slice off discs of the compound butter as needed and use it to enhance meats, vegetables, or bread.
