Step 1

Add two tablespoons of unsalted butter to a medium-sized sauté pan.

Step 2

Immediately add the garlic to the butter and then turn the heat to low-medium. Doing this process will give the butter more time as it will not directly touch the hot pan. This garlic needs to be perfectly cooked.

Step 3

Once the garlic touches the pan and the butter has melted, cook the garlic, stirring with a spoon just until it’s fragrant, which only takes 30 to 45 seconds. Set it to the side to cool slightly.

Step 4

Next, add the 2 sticks of softened butter to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and mix on high speed for 5 to 7 minutes or until the butter becomes light and fluffy.

Step 5

Turn the speed to low and add in the cooked garlic and any melted butter from the pan, the parsley, chives, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Mix on medium speed just until combined. Taste it and adjust any seasonings.

Step 7

Serve or store the butter.
