When creamy butter made with Real California Milk meets California grown edible flowers, the results are beautiful and delicious! Make this Flower Butter Board to wow brunch guests or just to celebrate the day.
It’s not every day that you’re going to add flowers to your butter, but when you have an event that you are hosting this season that you just need to put over the top, I’m certain this Floral Butter will be the hit of the show!

The flowers lend a soft aromatic flavor to the softened butter, all while offering a fun and unique presentation.

Beautiful!
Let’s get started making a flower butter board:
There are several edible flower varieties available throughout the state, you just need to decide what your color scheme is and what flavors you’d like to introduce. Obviously, the delicate purple flowers have a slight garlic flavor and the bright nasturtiums lend a peppery aroma.
I purchased mine here.
Remove the petals from the stem of each flower. I tore the nasturtiums into three or four pieces to keep the sizes cohesive in size with the rest of the petals.
Make sure your butter is nice and softened so it is easy to spread on your platter or other serving piece.
Prepping the butter board:
Using an offset spatula, spread the softened butter into a thin layer on the platter. I used a marble cutting board, but a slate or ceramic platter would work just fine here.
Sprinkle the petals over the flower butter and add fresh thyme leaves to the finished product. Lastly, dust with salt and pepper!
Dig in to your flower butter board and enjoy!
