FAQ
Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?
While you can use salted butter, be mindful of the additional salt content. Adjust the seasoning accordingly to avoid oversalting the dish.
Can I use dried herbs instead of fresh?
Fresh herbs provide the best flavor, but if you don’t have them on hand, you can substitute with dried herbs. Keep in mind that dried herbs are more potent, so use them sparingly.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Simply prepare the flavored butter as instructed, then store it in the refrigerator until ready to use. It’s a convenient option for busy weeknights or entertaining guests.
