Butter: Our favourite ingredients to cook at home

Salted butter, for toast, for mash and for finishing fish. It burns at a lower temperature than oil or dripping, so use it where the heat is gentle or add it at the end.

A knob goes on the cod in our Baked Cod Loin with Mushy Peas, and plenty goes into the mash on our Shepherd's Pie. Prime Food stocks Lurpak Slightly Salted 500g.
