Smoked butter

[epicuric]

Something I have developed in interest in lately - does anyone have any experiences of smoked butter?

No - but I reckon its easy if you have a smoke gun. I've made smoked goat's cheese (see here) and I reckon I could make butter the same way. The goat's cheese was delicious! It took a mere 5 mins

I know you don't have a smoke gun (you advised me not to get one, IIRC!). It takes 5 mins of smoking using that method. If you make it in a smoke house I am not sure how long it might take.

I will have a go at making smoked butter using the gun - in fact, you have given me an idea for the Recipe Challenge.

It can be be cold smoked, like cheese.

Try a smoked butterkase first. That's kind of in between.

I've never seen that on sale in the UK. A quick look on the net reveals that it's made in Germany, and Wisconsin!

There seem to be quite a few places making it/selling it in the UK. See below for two I found - it seems to be cold smoked (well wouldn't it have to be?). I will have a go today at using the smoke gun if I get time.

Smoked butter sound very interesting. I go to Borough Market quite often and will look out for it next time.

Borough Market is a treasure trove...
