Notes

  1. If you use unsalted butter do add ½ teaspoon of salt to the butter to season it.
  2. To soften butter, leave the butter in a bowl on the counter at room temperature for at least 1 hour. 
  3. If you are a garlic lover you can increase the amount of garlic in the recipe. Alternatively, you can roast whole garlic cloves in aluminum foil in the oven, then smash roasted garlic and use it in butter.
