Garlic Butter Burger Buns
Elevate your homemade burgers with toasted garlic butter buns, featuring a rich, aromatic blend of softened butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
Great burgers rely on every component, and the bun is no exception. Brushing burger buns with a homemade garlic herb butter before a quick pan-toast infuses them with a rich, milky aroma and golden crust that complements any savory patty.
Ingredients
- 100 g butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 pinch salt
- 4 burger buns
Instructions
- 1Prepare ingredients for garlic butter
Gather all the necessary ingredients including softened butter cubes in a mixing bowl, alongside small bowls containing salt, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Tip: Ensure the butter is properly softened at room temperature for smooth and easy mixing. - 2Mix the softened butter
Using a silicone spatula, stir and mash the softened butter in a metal mixing bowl until it achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
Tip: Press the butter against the sides of the bowl to help break it down quickly. - 3Add seasonings to the butter
Pour the chopped parsley, minced garlic, and salt into the bowl with the butter, continuing to stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly distributed.
Tip: Mix thoroughly so every part of the butter is flavored with the herbs and garlic. - 4Brush garlic butter onto the buns
Take a red silicone pastry brush and spread the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly across the cut surface of a burger bun half resting on a wooden board.
Tip: Apply an even layer to ensure every bite of the bun absorbs the rich garlic flavor. - 5Pan-fry the buttered buns
Place the buttered burger buns face down into a hot black frying pan to lightly toast them until golden and fragrant.
Tip: Keep a close eye on the buns while pan-frying as they can toast and brown very quickly.
