4 Flavored Butter Pats

How about giving your guests individual servings of butter for a fancy brunch or breakfast?

How about serving different flavors of butter pats in the most simplest way?

All you need is some softened butter and something to mold it. I have used a silicon apple mold to create apple shaped Butter Pats.

Butter pats can be molded well in advance and removed from the refrigerator moments before service.

I have made 4 different flavored Pats - vanilla, Cardamom, Herb and cocoa.

Hope you like them. If so, please do vote for me :)
