Notes

  • Butter: You can use salted or unsalted butter, but adjust the salt you add accordingly. I always use unsalted butter and ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt. If using salted butter, start with a pinch of salt and add more according to taste.
  • Herbs: A total of 20 g/ 0.7 oz herbs weighed after removing the stalks. You can variate the herbs according to taste and what’s available.
