Ingredients
- 2 oz butter (salted, good quality, at room temperature)
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar (powdered)
- 1 ½ Tbsp brandy (or cognac, good quality)
Instructions
Special equipment: a hand mixer (can also be done with a wooden spoon) and a serving bowl.
Make the butter:
- Cream the butter in a bowl until soft.
- Begin adding in the confectioner's sugar a little at a time, continuing to beat with the mixer.
- When all of the sugar has been added and the mixture is light and pale, add in the brandy. Mix until it is incorporated.
- Use a spatula to put it into a serving bowl, cover, and chill before using.
- Brandy butter will keep refrigerated for 3 to 4 weeks.

Notes
- IF THE BRANDY BUTTER SPLITS/CURDLES you have two choices to fix it:
- Add more confectioner's sugar until it's smooth.
- Take a heaping spoonful of the mixture and melt it (microwave is easiest), then add it back into the bowl and mix in, and it will be smooth again.
- If using unsalted butter, add two good pinches of salt.
