Smoked Butter
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Unsalted Butter, large dice
- 1/2 oz. Pedro Ximenez Solera Vinegar
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
- PolyScience Whiskey Barrel or Applewood Smoking Gun™ Chips
Directions:
- Let butter soften to room temperature in a stand mixer bowl or stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Season the butter and add vinegar.
- Whip the butter on medium speed in a stand mixer with whip attachment. Scrape sides and whip.
- This step can be done with a silicone spatula, if a stand mixer is not available.
- Wrap the top of the bowl with plastic wrap. Use the PolyScience Smoking Gun™ and trap enough smoke to form a dense cloud under the plastic. Let stand, undisturbed, for 5 minutes.
- Release smoke, remove plastic wrap and whip/fold to incorporate smoke flavor.
- If a stronger smoke flavor is desired, repeat steps 4 and 5.
