Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 3 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature until it is soft and easy to work with.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, orange zest, fresh orange juice, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the orange butter to a ramekin, small bowl, or form it into a log using parchment paper for a more professional presentation.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
