Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Melt the 135 g of plain butter in a light-coloured pan over medium heat. Keep it moving until the foam drops, the milk solids turn hazelnut-brown and it smells nutty. Scrape every brown speck into a bowl.
- Cool the browned butter completely — fridge it until it firms up, then let it come back to a soft, mayonnaise-like state at room temperature. This step matters: the infused butter goes in cold, so the dose never sees pan heat.
- Beat the cooled browned butter with the 57 g of plain softened butter and the 57 g of infused butter until the three are one uniform, even-coloured mass. Uneven mixing is uneven dosing — keep going past the point where it looks done.
- Work in the miso, lemon zest, cayenne, cumin and salt until you can't see streaks of miso anywhere.
- Fold in the sesame seeds last, with a spatula, just enough to distribute them.
- Weigh the finished butter and note the number. Scrape it onto parchment or plastic wrap, shape a tight cylinder about 20 cm long, twist the ends and chill at least 2 hours until firm all the way through.
- Unwrap the cold log. Lay a ruler alongside it, divide the total length by 12, and press 11 score marks with the back of a knife. Measure them — never eyeball them. Each scored coin is 5 mg.
- Slice on the score marks as you serve. One coin melts over a steak, an ear of corn or a split baked potato at the table.
- Label it. Write on the wrapper and on any storage container: Infused — 60 mg THC total / 12 coins / 5 mg THC per coin, plus the date. 21+ only. Keep it locked away from kids, guests who haven't been told, and pets.
