Ingredients

  • 115 g butter, at room temperature [8 tablespoons (1 stick)]
  • 25 g yellow mustard, such as Frenchs (1 teaspoon)
  • 8 g sherry vinegar (2 teaspoons)
  • 2 g Worcestershire sauce (1/2 teaspoon)
  • 25 g sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • 8 g kosher salt (2 teaspoons)

Method

  • Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle, on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, until fluffy and light yellow.
  • Add the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire, sugar, and salt and mix for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for an additional minute.
  • Make the butter pad as described below for the croissants, or store the butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
  • To make the butter pad, turn the butter out onto a piece of parchment.
  • Lay a second piece of parchment on top of it and press down on the butter with your hands to flatten it into a 4 x 6-inch rectangle.
  • Transfer the butter-filled parchment to the fridge to firm up.
  • Wrapped in plastic, the mustard butter pad will keep fresh in the fridge for up to 1 month.
