Description

Elevate your baked goods and spreads with this easy-to-make, aromatic Citrus Blossom Butter. Infused with the bright, zesty flavors of fresh citrus, this homemade compound butter is a true delight.


Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

– 2 tablespoons honey

– 2 teaspoons finely grated citrus zest (orange, lemon, or a blend)

– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, citrus zest, and sea salt. Mix until well blended and evenly incorporated.

2. Transfer the Citrus Blossom Butter to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape into a log and roll up, twisting the ends to seal.

3. Refrigerate the butter for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

4. Slice and serve the Citrus Blossom Butter on warm bread, scones, or use it as a glaze for baked goods.

Notes

– For a firmer texture, use 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1/2 cup unsalted European-style butter.

– Experiment with different citrus zests, like grapefruit, lime, or a blend, to create your desired flavor profile.

– The Citrus Blossom Butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months.
