Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature until it is soft and easy to work with.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, orange zest, fresh orange juice, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Use a hand mixer or a spatula to thoroughly mix the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color and texture. Ensure the orange zest is evenly distributed.
Taste the butter mixture and adjust the sweetness or salt level to your preference by adding more powdered sugar or a tiny extra pinch of salt, if needed.
Transfer the orange butter to a ramekin, small bowl, or form it into a log using parchment paper for a more professional presentation.
Refrigerate the butter for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld together. If shaped into a log, wrap it tightly and twist the ends for a compact cylinder.
Serve the Brazilian Court Orange Butter chilled or at room temperature with breads, pastries, or savory dishes as desired. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
