My favorite part about the holidays might literally be the bread and butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, what holiday goes by without some good buttered buns? This year, I’m totally into compound butters, which is just a fancy way of saying flavored butter. The other difference is the type of butter used is generally an Amish, hand-rolled variety. Step aside Country Crock, rolled compound butter is a BIG DEAL this holiday season. Here are some of my favorite flavor combinations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herb Butter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This butter I use on my turkey (or chicken) because it has subtle flavors from fresh herbs like thyme and oregano – with just a dash of garlic powder and pepper, it brings a full-bodied flavor to any kind of bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can also use it for your rolls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maple Paprika<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Probably my favorite of all my compound butters – it has a sweet and tangy taste that is complimented with fresh thyme and rosemary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It’s perfect on sweet rolls because it adds just enough spice from the paprika to really emphasize the sweetness of the butter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Curry Masala<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m a huge fan of ethnic cuisines like Indian. I take a lot of inspiration from Indian flavors, especially flavors like curry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With a combination of hot yellow curry, garam masala and marjoram, this unusual butter disappeared off my table before I could even say what I was thankful for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Traditional Garlic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I love about garlic butter is that it can be used for pretty much – EVERYTHING!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From buttering buns to cooking, garlic butter is the most versatile of all my compound butters. I even found myself hiding this one so I could use it again for my own cooking later!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Honey Cinnamon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For those who like to eat dessert first, honey cinnamon compound butter is made just for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While most people enjoy the savory side of the holidays, I am HERE for the sweets – so much so that I like to slather sweet stuff on my savory stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, I took a log of butter and transformed it into 5 very different kinds of butter – and honestly, that’s all I’ve ever dreamed of! Now gimme a hunk of bread so I can get to eating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: I used a five pound roll of butter that I separated into two pounds for my turkey and then split the rest between four flavors of butter. Each smaller roll was about a 1\/2 pound of butter and the following recipes will follow as such.<\/p>\n\n\n
