Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons orange zest
• 1.5 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Let the unsalted butter come to room temperature so it is softened and easy to work with.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Juice the orange and measure out 1.5 tablespoons of fresh orange juice, ensuring there are no seeds.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, orange zest, orange juice, and powdered sugar.

Step 5

Using a hand mixer or a fork, blend the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly combined.

Step 6

Taste the orange butter and adjust the sweetness or orange flavor as desired by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or additional zest.

Step 7

Transfer the orange butter to a serving dish or small container. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up, if desired.

Step 8

Serve with fresh bread, scones, biscuits, or muffins. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
