Getting Started

  • Clarified butter (ghee) has a higher smoke point, ideal for baking at temperatures above 175°C (350°F) to prevent burning.
  • Compound butters, made by mixing softened butter with herbs, garlic, or spices, distribute flavor evenly and prevent dry spots during baking. Apply directly to proteins or vegetables.
  • For even browning and crisping, ensure food is in a single layer on a baking sheet. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in cleanup, especially with high-fat items.
  • When baking low-carb desserts, use cold, cubed butter in doughs to create flakier textures. For sauces or glazes, melted butter incorporates smoothly.
