re: Whipped tallow butter recipe?

A lot of live-fire restaurants serve some version of Whipped Beef Butter on sourdough bread.

We had a smoked one that was ridiculously good. Here's a recipe I created based off of a conversation with the chef and refereincing online recipes.

Whipped Beef Butter

Ingredients
#1 unsalted butter
#1 beef fat trimmings
1t Salt

Instructions:
Remove butter from refrigeration 12-24 hours before making this recipe.

Beat room-temperature butter in a stand mixer with a paddle until smooth.

Render (melt) beef fat* into a completely liquid state in a saucepan or in the oven.

Allow fat to cool below 100F before next step.

Slowly pour rendered fat into the mixer, whipping with butter until it takes on a white frosting-like color and texture.

Salt to taste and refrigerate for 6 hours before using.

*Beef fat can be rendered in a smoker with heavy wood smoke to make smoked beef butter.

Flavorings
Black Garlic Butter - Add 4 oz Black Garlic puree
Smoke Paprika Butter - Add 1Tbs Smoked Paprika Powder 1tsp garlic powder
Garlic Butter - Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1 tsp chopped parsley

I don't know them well enough to know that.
Teacher here... I was the complete opposite of a teacher's pet.
Had potential... HTM taking two bites in the last 30 seconds of the video was anticlimactic.
That's proper scrambled eggs. I prefer mine to have distinguishable white and yolk like in the picture.

I'm surprised he didn't use lobsters & langoustines instead of crawfish. That man loves to gild the lilly.

Good to know. Definitely putting it at the top of the list. Thanks.
Thanks for the list of breweries and the restaurant & bar recs. Lone Pine, Rising Tide, & Austin Street look like winners.
