Cafe de Paris Butter

I have made this so many times and it is utterly addictive, One batch makes a lot I roll mine up into 2 logs and freeze one, Amazing on eye fillet or a rib roast any beef and great with chicken and even on roast potatoes Last Christmas I made a big batch (pictured) and gave the little Cafe De Paris Pots  away as presents.
