Preparation
  1. Assemble all equipment and ingredients. Soften butter to room temprature.
Mix and Mash
  1. Add 2 lbs butter (900 g), 6 cloves garlic (60 g), 1 tsp black pepper (4 g) and 1 tsp each of any desired herbs (optional 4 g or thyme, oregano, rosemary, and/or basil).
  2. Thoroughly mix the butter, garlic, pepper and herbs into a smooth, luxuriously whipped butter flecked with your desired flavourings.
  3. Using a silicone spatula, evenly distribute the compound butter across all the wells of an ice cube tray and seal well.
  4. Use immediately to flavour your favourite vegetables or proteins. Alternatively, freeze for up to a year and dispense 1 butter cube into a warm pan when in need of added flavour quickly. Enjoy heartily!
