Delicious Sour Cream Butter
Our sour cream butter is a savory and delicious topping for your potatoes, a spread for toast, a flavorful steak butter, and so much more. Our flavorful compound butter has your sides covered.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get a craving for buttered toast. While a simple salted butter on a toasted slice of bread usually hits the spot, there are times when I need more.
More of what you ask? Well, simply put, more flavor. That’s where a flavored butter can come in handy.
Compound butter is easy to prepare, takes very little time, and comes in a multitude of varieties.
This sour cream butter is one of our favorites! It only takes four ingredients and can be whipped up in no time.
Since it has sour cream and chives, you can bet it works beautifully on potatoes, too. From simple baked options to loaded Hasselback potatoes, the combination of flavors in this butter is the perfect match.
One unique way to use our compound butter is as a topping for your steak. It might sound strange at first but think about it.
All that creamy butter and sea salt melting into a sauce on your favorite pan seared steak is absolutely amazing. I haven’t tried it on chicken or fish yet.
However, you may want to try it on those meats as well.
In closing, the best thing I can say about our sour cream butter is that it only lasted about three days before it was gone.
It probably would’ve last longer but we couldn’t resist using it in some creamy parmesan mashed potatoes.
