This keeps very well in the fridge for 3–4 weeks, so you can make it well in advance, but do keep it in a covered container.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz/112 g softened butter
  • 4 oz/112

Method

Put the butter into a bowl and beat it well – I find a hand-held electric beater ideal for doing this. Gradually beat in the sieved icing sugar, and the grated orange rind. Then, still beating, add the brandy half a spoonful at a time. (If you add the brandy all at once, you are in danger of curdling the brandy butter.)

Scoop into a bowl, cover, and store in the fridge.
