Forgotten to soften the butter?

Grate butter coarsely, spread onto baking paper and stand for 10 minutes before using. Alternatively chop into 2cm cubes, microwave on 30% power in 10 second bursts until just softened. 

Bechamel Sauce

This Easy Bechamel Sauce is rich, creamy and perfect for pasta bakes, lasagne or gratins. Made with Western Star butter, milk, parmesan and a simple roux, it’s a classic white sauce that’s quick to prepare and a versatile base for so many comforting dishes. 

Traffic light vegetables

A great side dish for kids. Cut zucchini, carrot and red capsicum into thin sticks or rounds (snow peas are great too), then sauté in butter and garlic until tender and fragrant.
