Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the orange zest, powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, and honey.
-
Blend: Blend the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed and have formed a smooth, creamy consistency. If you’re using a food processor, pulse the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
-
Chill: Once blended, transfer the Orange-Honey Butter to a serving dish or an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator to chill slightly. Chilling will help the flavors meld together and firm up the butter.
-

Enjoy: Spread a generous dollop of this delicious butter on your warm baked goods and savor the delightful combination of citrusy orange zest and sweet honey.
Tips:
- Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh orange zest. Avoid the white pith of the orange, as it can impart a bitter taste.
- Adjust Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the amount of powdered sugar and honey according to your taste preferences. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more honey. For a lighter touch, reduce the sugar.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring it to room temperature before serving again.
- Versatility: Don’t limit yourself to just scones and muffins! This Orange-Honey Butter also pairs wonderfully with pancakes, waffles, toast, or even as a topping for oatmeal.
