Ingredients for Garlic Butter

For this easy homemade garlic butter recipe you will only need four basic ingredients. These are the items you will need to pick up, or check your pantry:

1. Butter: I prefer to make this recipe with unsalted butter so I can adjust the saltiness as needed.
2. Grated Parmesan Cheese: a nice parmesan cheese will add so much flavor when used in this recipe
3. Dried Parsley
4. Garlic Powder: I use garlic powder so it will dissolve nicely into the butter, fresh minced garlic can be used if you prefer
5. Salt: optional depending on which butter is used and if you feel it needs additional salt

How to make Garlic Butter

To make this simple Garlic Butter Recipe, start will your butter at room temperature so it is soft to work with.

Place the butter into a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until it is smooth. Once the butter is smooth, add in the parmesan cheese, garlic powder and dried parsley.

Mix until well combined, scrapping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Give the garlic butter a taste test to see if additional salt is needed. I like to just spread a little on a slice of bread to check the flavor.

Once your garlic butter has been made, place into an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
