Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Let the unsalted butter come to room temperature so it is softened and easy to work with.
Using a zesting tool or fine grater, carefully zest the orange to collect about 2 teaspoons of zest. Avoid the white pith, which is bitter.
Juice the orange and measure out 1.5 tablespoons of fresh orange juice, ensuring there are no seeds.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, orange zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar.
Using a hand mixer or a fork, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.
Taste the orange butter and adjust the sweetness or orange flavor as desired by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or additional zest.
Transfer the orange butter to a serving dish or small container. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, if desired.
Serve with fresh bread, scones, biscuits, or muffins. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
