Though similar, the two aren\u2019t interchangeable.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s the best way to mix Cajun butter?<\/h3>\n<p>Allow your butter to soften, then whip it with a fork, hand whisk or wooden spoon. For larger batches, a few pulses in a food processor might be better. Just avoid using your hands, as doing so can melt the butter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food tastes good with butter, but it\u2019s even better with Cajun butter.
