Autumn Compound Butters | Pumpkin Pie, Maple Cinnamon and Herbes de Provence
Is there any way to possibly improve butter? I didn't think so either until I tried Autumn compound butters.
I'm sharing my easy to make and even easier to enjoy compound butters in three flavors:
- Pumpkin Pie
- Maple Cinnamon
- Herbes de Provence
Each of these compound butters takes only minutes to make and enhances everything you scoop, spread and drop these butters onto.
You can try your own compound butters using your family's favorite flavors too!
It's fun to make birthday sprinkle butter to spread on birthday morning waffles.
What will you add to unsalted butter to delight?

Cook's Tips to Make Compound Butters
I've found a few tried and true methods to give me the best results in my compound butters.
The first is to use high-quality, unsalted butter. The recipe below calls for a dash of salt back into each butter.
This dash of salt allows you to control the saltiness. I find that salted butter can overwhelm the sweeter compound butters.
The next tip is to fully soften your butter. Don't rush this. Take a stick of butter out of the fridge, put it on the counter and forget about it for a day.
Place your herbs and spices next to the butter along with a small mixing bowl so that you remember why you took a perfectly good stick of butter out of the refrigerator!
Don't get too fancy, keep clean up to a minimum and use a dinner fork to mix your butter. You don't need a hand-mixer, blender or food processor.
Because your butter will be perfectly softened you can combine your butter with your spices and herbs to perfection.
Use a stiff spatula to scrape all of your tasty butter out of your mixing bowls and transfer to an air tight container.
For super fast and easy clean up, place a bowl in the sink with hot water and dish soap ready to drop the butter covered tools into for fast melting.
Bon appetit!
