It might sound weird to you, but flavored butters are a fantastic way to make something that is everyday ordinary into something out of this world extraordinary. Compound butters are an easy and elegant way to spruce up any meal-even a 4th of July cookout.
Cilantro Butter (AWESOME on corn on the cob)
8 oz (2 sticks) Unsalted Butter, soft
1 C. Fresh Cilantro, chopped
Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine all of the ingredients using either your hands (preferred) or a food processor. Note that using a food processor will yield more of a whipped consistency, which is not necessarily the best thing for our needs.
Once combined, make a long log out of it using wax paper or parchment paper. Twist the ends (Tootsie Roll style) to seal and put in the fridge for about 2 hours. When it is ready, cut it into coins and serve!
Compound butters can have anything in them-be playful and add your favorite herbs and spices. If wrapped correctly, these butters freeze like a dream.

I'm not a huge cilantro fan, but I've made a basil butter that was sooooo good on corn on the cob.
This sounds yummy! A couple of hamburgers on the grill, some corn on the cob with this yummy butter, potato salad, and then Easy Peasy Poke Cake!
