If you’re a charcuterie board purist, brace yourself for the latest food trend making waves on social media.
Justine Doiron, a recipe developer behind the@justine_snacks TikTok account, is popularizing boards covered in spreadable butter and assorted toppings, which she says cookbook authorJoshua McFaddenoriginally created. In a viralTikTokvideo with over a million likes, Doiron takes viewers through the process of making one.
“Have you heard of a butter board? This is what one looks like, and I want to make them the next charcuterie board. Not to usurp charcuterie, but like maybe a little bit,” she said in the clip.
Doiron uses a butter knife to smear mesmerizing swirls on a wooden surface until the whole area is covered.
“It’s all about if you’re serving a group of people, like spread a bunch of softened butter on a plate. Add tons of tons of flaky salt, tons of lemon zest, any herbs or toppings you want,” she said.
To finish off her variation, she added edible flowers and coriander-flavored honey and served with warm bread.
“I was not expecting this to blow up but YOU CAN USE A KNIFE JUST LIKE A CHEESEBOARD CALM YOURSELVES Ok ily 🥺,” she wrote.
