Equipment

  • heat safe ramekin
  • kitchen twine
  • Foil
  • bamboo skewer or chopstick

Materials

  • 1/2 cup high-quality butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • pinch of salt depending on how salty your butter is

Instructions

  • Gently melt butter in a saucepan. Once hot, add your minced garlic. Gently swirl the pan to evenly cook the garlic, but do not brown the butter or the garlic.
  • Tie your knot around the chopstick. Cut 4-6 inches down (depends on the size of your ramekin. Twist together and secure with a piece of foil. Place the chopstick on top of the ramekin and use more foil to weigh down the twine to sit at the bottom of the ramekin.
  • Pour the warm butter in the ramekin.
  • Put in the fridge to cool until solid.
  • Once solid, cut the twine until about 1/2" is sticking out the top. It might take a bit of time, but light the top with a lighter. Let the butter melt and use on top of toasted baguette. Enjoy!
