Best Recipes With Exotic Truffle Butter

The truffle can be found in Europe as well as the United States, Chile, New Zealand, and Australia and is always considered to be an extremely necessary commodity, so much so that the Chinese are importing their own truffles even though they are of inferior quality. The truffle, whether black white or burgundy varieties can be made into a broad assortment of additions and condiments that will absolutely enhance almost any food we eat. Increasingly there is a wide demand for truffle butter because it is versatile as it imparts so much flavouring into or on to foods. It can be purchased commercially or may be made at home quite easily by using truffle plus fine quality butter.

Truffle butter with your breakfast? Why not!

If you have not tried truffle butter over your waffles or pancakes you are truly missing an incredible treat! All you need is a pound (or more) of fine quality butter which may be salted or unsalted but must be warmed until it is somewhat soft but not still liquid. Fresh or even frozen white truffles must be chopped up finely then incorporated into the warmed butter then stirred thoroughly until well blended. All it takes is a few grams of the truffle. If you already have some truffle oil (home made or store bought) use it instead. Refrigerate the mixture in a sealable bowl or jar and permit the savoury flavouring to mix and mingle with the butter for at least several days. The stronger the aroma and taste of those truffles, the sooner the truffle butter will be ready for use. Black truffle will also make butter but the flavour of the black variety is almost too overpowering for a suitable butter. According to Emeril Lagasse (from Food Network) every you need to make a good tasting truffle butter is one pound of butter (unsalted) combined with a little amount of white truffle oil then add some salt to suit your taste. Place this combination on to a large sheet of plastic wrap and form the soft mixture to resemble a log which is about one inch in diameter. Wrap that tightly before storing in your refrigerator for a wide assortment of uses once it is firm and sliceable. By using the unsalted variety of butter you control how much salt goes into your truffle butter for better flavour and economy.
