flavored butter
Infused dairy topping
Flavored butter is butter mixed with other ingredients—herbs, garlic, citrus zest, honey, or spices—to create a compound for cooking or finishing dishes.
A pat of herb butter melts over steak; honey butter accompanies biscuits.
Also called compound butter, though flavored butter emphasizes the result while compound butter emphasizes the method.
