Butter boards are all the rage on Tik Tok, and I can see why. Butter is amazing. Giant swaths of butter with salt, herbs, and edible toppings all piled high onto a piece of rustic bread – YES. I am the person who puts about a tablespoon of butter on a saltine cracker and eats that for a snack, so this trend is all right with me.Let’s talk about how you get started on your first butter board.
Leave your butter out overnight to soften, and then refrigerate it for 30 minutes before board assembly. You want spreadable but firm butter.
Grab your favorite wood board or platter and place a dab of honey in the center of the board. Now cut a smaller than the board piece of parchment paper and anchor it on the board. Now spread the butter onto the board.
Top with your favorite toppings
Consider both savory and sweet combinations.
Cut up a French bread loaf for dipping or serve with crackers.
Great combinations for butter boards include:
Figs, Honey, Almond slivers
Chives, Chive Blossoms, Maldon Sea salt, and Edible Flowers
Microgreens, Lemon zest, Capers
Jam, Figs, Molasses, or Date Syrups
