Infused Garlic and Herb Compound Butter
Compound butter is the edible you slice. Everything happens cold, the infused butter is folded through until there is not a streak left, and a parchment log chilled firm cuts into coins of the same thickness without a scale. One coin melts over a steak, a baked potato or warm bread, and the dose is the coin.

Ingredients
Makes 16 servings, about 80 mg THC in the whole batch
Instructions
- 1
Soften
Leave both butters on the counter until a finger dents them easily, about thirty minutes. Cold butter will not blend evenly, and uneven butter is uneven dose.
30 min - 2
Beat in the flavour
Beat the plain butter with the garlic, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper until light and evenly speckled.
3 min - 3
Fold in the infused butter
Add the infused butter and fold, then keep folding for a full minute past the point where it looks done. The log is only as even as this step: when the colour is completely uniform, every coin carries the same milligrams.
3 min - 4
Roll the log
Spoon the butter onto a sheet of parchment, fold the paper over, and roll it into a tight log about 4 cm across. Twist the ends like a sweet wrapper.
- 5
Chill firm
Refrigerate until completely firm, at least ninety minutes. It slices cleanly only when cold.
1 hr 30 min - 6
Slice into coins
Unwrap and slice into sixteen coins of the same thickness, about 1 cm each. Same thickness is same dose; a ruler beside the board is not overkill. Wrap what you are not using and label it.

Serve one coin
One coin on a hot steak, a split baked potato, grilled corn or warm bread is one serving. Let it melt in and eat within the hour.
Tips from the kitchen
- With a half cup of infused butter at a typical home strength, sixteen coins land around 5 mg each. Run your own butter through the infusion calculator and put the real number on the wrapper.
- Start with half a coin, then wait two hours before you reach for the second half.
- The log freezes well for three months. Slice coins straight from the freezer and they thaw on the plate in minutes.
