10 tips for kokende cowboy -smør

  1. Bruk usaltet smør av høy kvalitet for den beste smaken og kontrollen over saltnivåer.

  2. Friske urter gir den mest livlige smaken, men tørkede urter kan brukes i en klype.

  4. La smøret hvile i kjøleskapet i minst 30 minutter for å la smakene smelte sammen.
