METHODS

  • Beat the butter on low speed in an electric mixer until creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine all the remaining ingredients before adding to the butter. Mix on a low speed in the mixer.
  • Place a double thickness of foil 20cm in length on a workbench and place a third of the butter along the closest edge, leaving about 5cm free at either end. Roll into a long shape about 5cm in diameter, twisting the ends to seal. Repeat twice more, or until all the butter is used up, then refridgerate until set.
