Garlic scape compound butter is a flavoured butter made by blending finely chopped scapes with softened unsalted butter, parsley, salt, and pepper, then rolling it into a log and chilling until firm. Compound butters were a staple of Edwardian cooking on both floors of the house. Escoffier’s influence had reached English country house kitchens by the early 1900s, and flavoured butters were used to finish grilled meats, enrich sauces, and melt over vegetables. They were practical: make a batch, wrap it, keep it in the larder. This one comes together in under ten minutes.
