Notes

  • Unsalted butter may also be used, but salt should be added. If using unsalted butter, add ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Other herbs (including dry herbs) can also be used, such as thyme or rosemary instead of parsley. A mix of herbs can also be used.
  • For every 2 Tablespoons fresh herbs, use 1 teaspoon dried herbs.
