- Use Unsalted Butter - Allows better control of flavor, especially for sweet variations.
- Honey Butter - Add honey and a pinch of sea salt to serve with a slice of bread.
- Herbs Butter - Mix in parsley, thyme, or rosemary for a delicious variation.
- Garlic Butter - Add 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic which makes it perfect for steaks, veggies, or garlic bread.
- Cinnamon Maple Butter - Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and maple syrup for a sweetened butter spread to serve over waffles and pancakes.
- Chocolate Butter - Add 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa and powdered sugar for a decadent spread and bursting with flavors.
- Citrus Butter - Zest orange or lemon to the butter for a citrus flavor.
