Butter is freshly whipped from cream, then mixed with orange blossom honey, fresh orange zest, and salt, for a decadent butter that's perfect for pancakes, waffles, and more.
Ingredients
1cupheavy whipping cream
2tbsporange blossom honey
zest of one orange
pinch of salt
Instructions
Place the whipping cream, honey, orange zest, and salt into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and turn the mixer on as high as you can go without splattering cream everywhere (medium high for me). It will take about 10 minutes to take your whipping cream to the butter stage. Let’s break it down.
In the first few minutes, the mixture will turn into orange honey whipped cream.
After a couple more minutes, the mixture will start to clump up, and by the 7 or 8 minutes mark, the butter will really separate from a liquid that collects at the bottom of the bowl. This is true buttermilk!
Once the butter has clumped up, scoop it out from the bowl and form it into whatever shape you like. I usually use a disher to portion it out into little balls. Spread it on pancakes, muffins, toast, whatever your heart desires. Enjoy!!!
