Recipe information

  • Yield

    yields 1 stick (1/2 cup)

Ingredients

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Preparation

  1. Beat the butter with an electric mixer until fluffy, then stir in the tarragon and lemon juice. Using waxed paper, shape the butter into a log.
