Add half and half and heat, don't boil. If you like it thinner add a little whole milk. Float the butter on top allow it to spread, don't stir.

Want fancy? Crumble 3-4 slices of crispy bacon on top of butter. Put it on the table in that iron pot.

This is the recipe that many of the fishing guides used at Boca Grande, Fla in the 30's and 40's.

Easy to adjust the amounts.
