Recipe: Root Beer Miso Butter

Mini biscuits made with root beer miso butter

Three easy ingredients and a bit of blending turn boring old everyday butter into super yummy root beer miso butter. I took a chance with this recipe – reckoning that the woody flavour of Soda Folk root beer would pair nicely with the salty, nutty flavour of miso – and absolutely loved the results. To be sure I’ll be making more soon and intend to keep a log wrapped up and stowed away in my freezer for flavour emergencies.

ROOT BEER MISO BUTTER Yum

Ingredients

250g stick of butter, at room temperature; 75g red miso (I used an additive free miso); 100g root beer (any’ll do but might I recommend Soda Folk root beer?).

Method

In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the butter and miso together. Pour in the root beer a few drips at a time and blend until it is all absorbed in the mix.

Serve

Once the ingredients are mixed together well, you’re done. The butter can be eaten immediately or rolled into a log in plastic wrap to refrigerate or freeze for later. I’ve used my stick of root beer miso butter in a variety of ways since coming up with this recipe: spread across a piece of toast, slathered all over an ear of roasted corn, added as an ingredient when I baked some biscuits. All were delicious.

Root beer miso butter is simply a flavoured butter to be used as you might any normal butter. I’m craving to make some pancakes or French toast with a pat of my butter on top – the butter’s so tasty I may not need any syrup!
