Brandy Butter
Method
Make ahead of time - your brand butter should chill for 60 mins before serving.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on a medium speed for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and half the brandy. Beat for 30 seconds before adding the remainder of the brandy, and then beat for another 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a jar or bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour or until needed. The butter will last for three or four days.
More Tips
- Serve the brandy butter with warm Christmas pudding or mince pies.

Avoid a "floury" white sauce
At the beginning of a white sauce always cook off the butter and flour over low heat for 1 minute to ensure the finished sauce doesn’t have a “floury” flavour. Remove from the heat before whisking in milk and returning back to the heat to thicken.
