Brandy butter is a rich and creamy condiment that goes well with mince pies, Christmas pudding, or other festive desserts. Here is a simple recipe for making brandy butter at home1:
- Ingredients:
- 125g/4oz unsalted butter, softened
- 125g/4oz icing sugar
- 2 tbsp boiling water
- 3 tbsp brandy
- Instructions:
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the icing sugar with a wooden spoon or an electric hand whisk until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually beat in the boiling water and brandy until well combined. If you add too much brandy at once, the mixture might curdle, so be careful.
Transfer the brandy butter to a jar or a bowl and chill until needed. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to a month.
