Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe?
You can use either salted or unsalted butter. If using unsalted, you may want to add a pinch of salt to taste.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the garlic butter and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
Can I use garlic powder instead of fresh garlic?
I highly recommend using fresh garlic for the best flavor. Garlic powder lacks the essential oils that give fresh garlic its distinctive, rich taste.
How do I reheat the butter?
To reheat, simply warm it up in the microwave for a few seconds until it’s soft and spreadable.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will stay fresh for 21-30 days.
