Butters

Lemon Butter
CLASSIC

This is the Fannie Farmer (1943) formula.

Butter, room temperature, 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice, 1/4 tablespoon

Cream the butter and beat in lemon juice, drop by drop. Refrigerate until needed.

Lime-Dill Butter

This butter is excellent with salmon, scallops, ahi tuna, boiled potatoes, or baked potatoes.

Butter, 1 tablespoon
Lime juice, 1/4 tablespoon
Dill, ¼ teaspoon
Garlic, ¼ clove or more
Hand held garlic press

Cream the butter and stir in dill. Beat in lime juice gradually. Refrigerate until needed, on a plate or in a ramekin.

Just before serving, puree the garlic in the hand press. Stir some into the butter, taste, and add more as desired.

Variation
For cold salmon, consider lime-dill yogurt. (Substitute yogurt or thick yogurt cream for the butter above.)

Sage-Butter Sauce

Good with gnocchi for a change from cheese, or butter and cheese.

Sage
Butter

Heat butter. Add sage. Let butter boil up and then subside.
