Why This Recipe Works

If you have never been to a Culver’s and there is one in your area, you must go – it’s that simple. Freshly made burgers and increasingly – did I mention the fried cheese curds and their frozen custard? They are delicious.

I haven’t ordered anything on their menu that I have disliked. You can’t write-up supplies when it’s made fresh. Scroll lanugo to see my video on how to make Culver’s Butter Burgers.

What is a Butter Burger?

This fast supplies uniting is known for its signature butter burgers, succulent custard, and crinkle-cut fries. Some people think they put butter in the meat to make the burger taste good. While that would make a hamburger patty taste great, that isn’t quite how they make their burger recipe.

The key is a hot grill and fresh, never-frozen meat seared quickly. Where does the butter come in? You spread a little butter on the buns and toast them. This makes the toasted buns delicious!

Recipe Notes

The key to this burger recipe is in the bun. Put the butter in a skillet and place the hamburger buns squatter lanugo to let the butter soak into the buns!

I moreover have a secret I use to help sear the flavors into the meat. I take a meat patty. Then I smash it out on the grill (you can use a skillet).

Then I take a large soup can I have wrapped with aluminum foil to help smash the burger patty lanugo onto the grill. A quick sear on both sides and you are done.

Just trammels out my video to see how to smash burgers:
