How To Make Garlic Butter

Garlic butter is really easy to make and super quick too.

To make 150g of garlic butter you need;

• 150g salted/unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 tsp fresh chopped parsley/dried parsley – optional

This should be enough to cover a baguette if you are making garlic bread.

Add the butter to a bowl. You’ll need to use room temperature or softened butter. You can use either salted or unsalted butter – if you are using unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to the mixture to add some flavour.

Peel the garlic cloves and use a garlic crusher to mince them into the butter. Depending on how garlicky you like your food, feel free to add less or more cloves accordingly!

If you are also adding parsley, add this now. Stir everything together until well combined. Store in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
