How to Make a Butter Roll

Rolling Chive Butter into an easy-to-slice cylinder can be a little challenging. Here's our step-by-step method for using parchment paper and a ruler to form one easily.

1. Dollop flavored butter down center of a sheet of parchment paper.

2. Fold one end of paper over butter. Using a hard straightedge, such as a ruler, push back on butter while holding remaining paper down with your other hand, to form butter into a cylinder.
