Ingredients

▢ 2 tbsp white miso paste (see note 1)
▢ 1 stick butter (½ cup / 110g / 4 oz)

Instructions

Bring the butter to room temperature if it's been refrigerated. You should be able to mash it easily with a fork when it's ready to use.
Place the butter and miso in a bowl and mash/stir together to combine. Ensure they're well incorporated so you don't have a big dollop of miso sitting in one section of butter with none in another. It should look like a very creamy butter at this point.
Use straight away or wrap the butter into a log in plastic wrap or parchment paper (baking paper) then store in the fridge. Cut slices from this as you need them.

Notes

Note 1: I've used white miso in this recipe though any you have will be fine. If using red miso I recommend using a plain, not salted butter, as the miso is already quite salt.
