How to make your own flavoured butter (and save money)
It may be one of the priciest items in my fridge but proper butter is one ingredient I'd never be without. What joy would there be in a fluffy jacket potato were it not for the knob of melting gold? And as evidenced by the influx of highly enticing flavoured butters appearing both on the supermarket shelves and on my TikTok feed, I know I'm far from the only butter lover out there. So popular is the current 'buttertok' trend that social media star chef Thomas Straker, creator of salt and vinegar crisp butter among many others, now has his own eye-catchingly packaged range – including Cinnamon Bun (£2.85 for 115g; £2.48 per 100g, at Sainsbury's) – on the shelves at major supermarkets. Waitrose has reported a huge surge in sales of flavoured butters; especially its excellent-value frozen Garlic & Herb Butter (£3.50 for 200g; £1.75 per 100g), sales of which are up an incredible 569 per cent compared to this time last year. Meanwhile, M&S has introduced a top-tier flavoured butter line including smoked paprika and chilli (£2.75 for 100g) and a truly delicious Parmigiano Reggiano & Truffle butter – though at £3.75 for 100g, it's one to keep for special occasions. But with the price of butter already at a premium, is it worth shelling out even more for flavoured versions? I certainly see the appeal: their ability to instantly add a touch of magic to the most basic of foods, from an ear of corn to a simple seared steak or thick slice of toast, makes them worth keeping close to hand, especially when you're short on time and desire an easy flavour boost for dinner. But why splash the cash when they're so easy and, in most cases, much cheaper to make at home? Supermarket own-label British butter is currently priced around 80-90p per 100g and the additional ingredients can cost from just a few pence upwards depending on what flavours you go for. With savings to be made and a medley of flavours to experiment with, homemade flavoured butter is win-win. If you've got your own favourite blends, do share them with me in the comments below the article. If not, here's a quick guide and six delicious ideas to get you started. Skip to: The butter Straightforward supermarket own-label butter is perfect for flavouring. Choose unsalted as this provides the best flavourless base with which to work; salt can later be added to taste depending on the ingredients you add. Take it out of the fridge at least two hours before you use it so it's soft enough to blend in the flavours easily. If the butter is still a little firm, give it a quick beat with a wooden spoon or whisk until it's spreadable. Avoid types that spread straight from the fridge as you want the butter to set firmly once you've added your flavours. Back to index The flavours There are no limits here and you can go sweet or savoury, but plump for ingredients that pack a punch rather than mild-tasting additions which need to be used in large amounts to carry through. This is particularly important when adding liquids – you don't want to over-soften the final texture too much, so use a small amount of strong espresso or dark maple syrup, for example, rather than a delicate, golden style. Taste and adjust the finished butter to balance the flavours in the same way you would if making a dressing (or a cocktail for that matter), adding more sweetness, salt or some acidity, as needed. Back to index How to blend It's simply a case of mixing together room-temperature butter with your favourite flavourings. While a bowl and wooden spoon will suffice, an electric whisk or food processor (as I've used in the recipes below) will take the effort out of blending the ingredients together. Though if you do choose to beat the mixture by hand, any unevenly blended butter with visible marbling is still very attractive when sliced into discs or scooped into. Back to index How to store To maximise freshness and minimise odour transference (butter easily absorbs pungent smells), it's important to keep your flavoured butter chilled and airtight. Either pack it into a sealed container or wrap in greaseproof paper, rolling it to form a tight cylinder. Twist the ends then, ideally, place in a food bag for extra protection. Slice off discs from the log when ready to use, or spread or scoop directly from your container.

Not only does it smell fresh, but the scent will also last 'all day'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Beauty fans are raving about a viral buy from Boots that will give you a designer scent whilst on a budget Credit: Getty 5 Not only this, but you'll be shocked at the luxury ingredients it contains Credit: Supplied 5 The Gem Skin-Loving Santal Antiperspirant Deodorant provides 48 hours of "nourishing sweat protection" Credit: Supplied 5 It's said to smell "exactly" like Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum Credit: John Lewis But that's not all - if you have posh taste but don't have the funds to match, you're sure to be left beaming when you hear that this 'everyday essential' smells 'exactly' like a pricey perfume. So with summer right around the corner, if you want to smell good but without breaking the bank, then you've come to the right place. Many of us can't afford to spend over £200 on a bottle of perfume, but thanks to the new Gem Skin-Loving Santal Antiperspirant Deodorant, not only will it provide you with 48 hours of antiperspirant protection, but you'll also smell designer too. With this new deodorant, which recently landed in Boots stores, you'll tackle sweat whilst ensuring your skin feels better than ever. This 'skin-loving formulation' is enriched with premium ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter and Vitamin E. It's said to be 'gentle on skin, but tough on sweat' and works to 'keep skin moisturised and nourished.' There's four scents to choose from - Cool Fresh, Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla Macadamia and Santal, which fans say smells 'exactly' like a well-known fragrance. So if the thought of spending £234 for an 100ml bottle of Le Labo Santal 33 Eau de Parfum sends shivers down your spine, then you won't want to miss this. This woody fragrance, which blends earthy sandalwood with subtle spices, has since gone viral online, sending shoppers into chaos as they scramble to get their hands on the popular Aussie deodorant. It's been hailed 'a boujee-on-a-budget formula' that provides 'seriously chic scent profiles that last all day'. Beauty fans race to their local supermarket for fake tan holy grail as prices are slashed from £13 to less than £3 And it's clear that beauty fans are loving it, as it has quickly racked up a very impressive average rating of 4.9 out of five, with 94% of reviewers recommending this product. One person said: 'Smells amazing, lasts the perfect amount of time. I got the Santal one and I love how it suits me. Easy to apply and good for value.' Great deodorant. Really does stop me from sweating throughout the day Boots shopper Another added: 'I love this scent! It's giving oud for your pits! Scent lasts all day and until the next morning without irritating my underarms! I'm obsessed! Definitely my go to from now on.' A third commented: 'The smell of this one is unique!! I had never seen anything like it, such a lovely lasting smell! This one is definitely one of my fav scents ever!' Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling. Meanwhile, someone else beamed: 'This has a really nice unisex scent to it and the sweat protection is really good! No powdery texture or white residue. Pretty packaging too!' But that's not all, as another happy beauty fan gushed: 'Great deodorant. Really does stop me from sweating throughout the day.' At the same time, another Boots shopper wrote: 'I love the woody scent – it's subtle but lasts all day without being overpowering. The formula glides on so smoothly and doesn't irritate my skin at all. 'Keeps me fresh for ages, and I love that it includes Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid. Total everyday essential!'
