Fresh Compound Butter

---

Butter is one of the most useful ingredients in any kitchen! Plain butter is an excellent partner for toast and pancakes, but compound butter increases the flavor profile! I use compound butter with most meals, whether it’s a sweet cinnamon and honey butter, to the use of unique spices such as cayenne pepper, small diced chilis and herbs such as rosemary and basil.
