The spread board has become a hit on Facebook.
You can put both spices and pickled ingredients on the Butter Board. Mari Moilanen
The idea of the butter board, more like a spreading board, is simple.
Soft butter is spread thinly on a cutting board or plate. The surface of the butter is seasoned and decorated. The surface can be sprinkled with spices (black pepper, chili flakes, coriander seeds, finger salt, honey, thyme, tarragon and other fresh herbs), pickled or marinated vegetables, pieces of fruit, lemon peel, edible flowers, ground nuts.
Butter is scooped into the mouth with crusty bread.
– Practically speaking, in butter board recipes, butter is sprinkled on top of everything possible, says a food journalist who is also fond of butter board Mari Moilanen.
He discovered the bulletin board phenomenon on his social media, primarily Tiktok, which offers the strangest food fads.
According to Moilanen, the bulletin board exploded into everyone’s consciousness when Justine Doiron published the first butter board on his Tiktok account.
He, in turn, had found an idea by Joshua McFadden Six reasons – from the herbal butter recipe in the book.
A butter board is therefore an appetizer, from which everyone scrapes flavored butter onto the bread.
If the butter alone scares you, make a butter board with cream cheese or mix half of the cream cheese into the butter.
– This is a real treat, Moilanen enthuses.
Butter board
(for 4 people)
100 g of butter
100 g unflavored cream cheese
pickled red onion (or some other pickled vegetable)
a few pickled mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon of dark, runny honey
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
a pinch of finger salt
1. Brown the butter in a saucepan without stirring. The butter is ready when an intoxicating nutty aroma rises from it. Cool and refrigerate for a while so the butter hardens. Leave the whey in the butter, it has flavor.
2. Mix butter and cream cheese. Spread on a plate or cutting board with a spoon heated in water. Sprinkle the chili flakes on the surface, grind a little black pepper on top and place the pickled red onions and mushrooms on the surface of the spread.
3. Drizzle a little honey on top. Garnish with thyme leaves and finally sprinkle with finger salt. Enjoy immediately with crusty bread.
