How to Make an Easy Garlic Butter

This is a simple garlic butter I made with the butter I had previously made. You can simply use normal shop bought butter if you don't want to make it.

Ingredients

  • 200 Unsalted butter You can use shopbought but if you want to see how to make your own you can see my post from the picture below.
  • Salt
  • 203 cloves Garlic clove
  • Fresh Parsley optional

Instructions

  1. Crush your garlic cloves and mince them up until they are really fine.
  2. Add your butter and salt if you are using it.
  3. Mix the garlic and the butter together with a whisk until it is fine.
  4. Now it is ready to put onto your bread for baking or another recipe of choice.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: The reason  I use unsalted butter and then add salt is I like to control my salt intake and I find some brands of salted butter are too salty. You can use salted butter or even no salt if you prefer.

Note 2: Increase or decrease the amounts of ingredients as necessary.

Note 3: I used 3 cloves as when crushing them you lose some and don't get as much as you think. 3 cloves was a nice mild flavour. 

This recipe is inspired by this Herbed  Garlic butter from Denyse. I have simplified it down a bit.
