Notes

For perfect rounds of garlic butter, refrigerate it in a log shape wrapped in parchment or cling film, then slice as needed.
For an extra creamy consistency, blend all ingredients in a food processor instead of mixing by hand.
Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of smoked paprika for a unique twist.
