- Choose a recipe then cream the softened butter with the other ingredients.
- Add a pinch of salt to each apart from the anchovy and bacon recipes and let sit at room temperature for at least an hour, best 2 to merge the flavours well
- Lay out a square of foil with a square of clingfilm wrap over the top and spoon the butter mixture onto the middle
- Hold each end of the film/foil like you're holding the mixture in a hammock and roll it back and forth to form a rough sausage shape
- Roll it to one end then using only the clingfilm, roll and wrap it completely
- Twist the ends tight.
- This will compact it and give it a good cylindrical shape
- Overwrap the clingfilm with a square of parchment paper, then wrap the foil around that
- Label it if you're making a few different kinds and put it in the freezer
- It will happily stay frozen for up to a month allowing you to cut discs off whenever you need them
- Alternatively you can spoon into ice cube trays and pop them out as needed or you can just store them in a small container as they are in the fridge for up to a week
- Although I've written what I use these butters for in the headings, you can use them for pretty much any savoury dish you want to.
- Spread them on toast, top a baked potato with a slice, tuck between a couple of burger patties, use as a basting rub, tuck into a fish foil parcel, fry stuff in it, toss into cooked veggies, mix with rice or pasta, whatever takes your fancy!
- *For the bacon compound butter you need to do some cooking.
- Preheat the oven to gas 6 / 2000C / 400F and line a baking tray with foil.
- Put the bacon on the tray and sprinkle a heaped tablespoon of brown sugar evenly over each slice.
- Bake until it goes crispy, around 12 minutes but keep watch so the sugar doesn't start to burn
- Let it cool then chop it as finely as you possibly can (if you can resist just eating it!
- ), then follow the mixing, shaping and storing instructions above
- So delicious on toast or a bagel!
