Maître d’Hôtel Butter.

2 tablespoonfuls of butter.

1 tablespoonful of lemon juice.

1/2 teaspoonful of salt.

1/4 teaspoonful of pepper.

1 teaspoonful of minced parsley.

Beat the butter to a cream; beat the lemon juice into this; then add the seasoning and parsley.

This butter is not to be cooked. It should be spread on broiled meats or fish like plain butter. The heat of the food will melt it sufficiently.
