Butter is great by itself. But compound butters add an extra level of taste sensations to a dish without a lot more effort.

The orange butter is great on toast, but my original reason for making it was as a filling and topping for crepes. The idea, of course, is an inspiration from Madame Julia Child herself in the cookbook from her classic television show The French Chef.
