Use fresh herbs and spices. Dried herbs and spices can be used, but fresh herbs and spices will give the flavored butter a more intense flavor.
Be creative with your flavors. There are endless possibilities for flavored butters, so feel free to experiment until you find a combination that you love.
Make sure the flavored butter is well-blended. This will help to ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
Chill the flavored butter before using. This will help to firm up the butter and make it easier to spread.
Use flavored butter within a week. Flavored butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, but it is best to use it as soon as possible.
