Time 2h

Yield about 1/2 cup butter

Number Of Ingredients 3

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
Flaky salt, for sprinkling
Radishes, cut in half, for serving

Steps:

  • Cover the bottom of a big Dutch oven with wood chips. Ball up three big pieces of aluminum foil each to about the size of a golf ball, then place them on top of the chips; they'll be used to prop up the bowl of butter. Cover the Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat for 10 minutes.
  • Place the butter in a heatproof bowl and place the bowl on top of the aluminum balls. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot, allowing a small opening to vent. Cook for 30 minutes. Taste; if you'd like it to be smokier, cook for longer, up to 30 minutes more. Let the butter cool at room temperature back to 65 to 70 degrees F.
  • To speed up the cooling, stick the butter in the freezer, stirring occasionally, until spreadable and opaque, about 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the butter with flaky salt, then serve with radishes for dipping or spreading.
