Smoked Butter?

[LakeLBJ]

Read an article this morning on a restaurant that sells smoked butter - I was intrigued so I figured if anyone has done it, it would be you guys. Sounds great, and I would love to try it. Anyone done it?

I can't post URLs yet because I don't have 15 posts but it's a restaurant called Creekside Smokehouse in El Granada, CA.

I cold smoked some butter once, with cherry wood. The butter soaked up the smoke fairly quickly. If I remember correctly it only got smoked for 1/2 an hour and had a very strong smoke flavor. I put it on some toast and I thought it was good, the wife thought it was strange and couldent eat smoked toast. My kids and I had some on pancakes and it did seem strange to eat smoke flavored pancakes, I think it was the syrup that made it taste weird. The butter was great for roasting garlic, it also worked well with baked potatoes and fryed eggs.

hmmm, almost anything is better smoked, but I've never heard of it.

I have heard of smoked butter, but have never tried to smoke it. It does sound interesting though. I think it would be good with grilled lobster, shrimp, fish or spread on some bread for a brisket sammy.

Sounds very interesting! I like cold smoked honey...bet the butter would add a nice flavor to a lot of things.

Sofa Q, thanks for the info! :wink:

Interesting, but I am not sure about smoked butter. Same way I feel now about Bacon salt. After I tried it I'm still not sure.
