This gochujang butter is spicy and savory, but even a little sweet. Korean gochujang makes a compound butter that is so good on steak, noodles, salmon, biscuits, rice, crostini—actually on just about anything that can use a kick of flavor.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1.5 tablespoons gochujang paste
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons salt

Spread butter lengthwise along the center of a piece of plastic wrap. Roll and gently mold butter into a log shape. Twist the ends to seal; refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up and allow the flavor to develop.

Buttermilk Crumpets
This is an American rendition of a British classic. Serve with your choice of savory or sweet toppings, like fruit spread and butter, double Devonshire cream, clotted cream, etc...
