A mussel dinner is not complete without a side of warm bread, and a side of warm bread is not complete without butter! Elevate the experience by pre-batching butter curls. These delicious curls of golden butter are the perfect garnish to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your meal. Adding a rich and creamy flavour to that soft, pillowy bread.
Making these delicate curls is as simple as it sounds; all that’s needed is a butter curler or a special knife. Impressing your guests has really never been easier! 🧈✨
Ingredients & Tools:
Butter curler (or melon baller)
A stick of butter
Bowl of hot water
Bowl of ice water
Steps:
Place the butter curler in hot water to warm the metal. Let the butter sit out for 5–10 minutes before making curls.
Holding the end of the butter stick with one hand, place the curler hook at the end of the butter stick, and pull the curler across the top of the butter.
Drop the finished curl into iced water.
Dip the curler into hot water before starting each curl. Repeat on all sides of the butter stick.
Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
We like to place a small bowl of them at each setting, making it much easier for all guests to access and use them throughout the meal.
