In the UK it's almost compulsory to serve Brandy Butter as an accompaniment to mince pies and Christmas pudding. This recipe was included in a Sainsbury's magazine Christmas supplement (December 1998), but don't just wait for Christmas; this is lovely at any time of year, especially with hot or cold apple pies and fruit crumbles. Go on, treat yourself. Ingredients:
4 ounces unsalted butter |
4 ounces superfine sugar |
2 tablespoons brandy (or rum if you prefer) |
4 ounces ground almonds |
1 grated orange, zest of |
1 teaspoon orange flower water |
Directions:
1. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy, until the mix is almost white in colour, (keep whisking, then whisk some more).
2. Ad the brandy (or rum), almonds, grated zest and orange flower water and fold through the butter mix.
