Compound butter is an accessible and versatile addition to cooking and baking, allowing for a variety of flavors through added herbs, spices, or even truffles. To create the perfect compound butter, itâs crucial to start with softened, unsalted butter, which provides control over flavor. A hand mixer effectively incorporates air into the butter, achieving a light, fluffy texture thatâs hard to replicate by hand. Whipping for about five minutes before adding desired ingredients ensures a well-mixed and spreadable consistency, perfect for enhancing meals and sharing with others.
