    Chef's Notes and Tips

    Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter:
    • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh garlic and herbs whenever possible. They impart a superior aroma and flavor to the dip. Fresh ingredients can significantly elevate the taste.
    • Achieving Creamy Texture: To ensure a smooth and creamy consistency, start with butter at room temperature. This makes it easier to blend with other ingredients, resulting in a creamier texture.
    • Mixing Techniques: While a fork and spatula are great for mixing, consider using an electric beater for an even creamier texture. The beater aerates the butter, making it fluffier.
