What Is Compound Butter?
Compound butter is simply butter mixed with extra ingredients—like herbs, spices, or in this case, fresh fruit and sugar. It adds extra flavor and richness, making it perfect for both sweet and savory dishes.
We make and love Everything Butter because it carries the flavors into plain toast or bagels. It’s also great on roasted corn!
