Fairy Butter - Floral Butter With Rose Or Orange Blossom Water

Fairy Butter - Floral Butter With Rose Or Orange Blossom Water


1. Pound the cooked egg yolks with the floral water, (rose water or orange blossom water) and the icing sugar. Make a fine paste with all of the ingredients.

2. Add the egg yolk mixture with the softened butter and mix thoroughly. When it is well mixed and smooth, allow the butter to firm up in a cool place or the fridge.

3. Take the block of firm fairy butter and push it through a sieve, so that the little "fairy" pieces of butter fall in a loose heap on to a pretty serving plate. I have also used a tea strainer; it is smaller and easy to use. If you are making a large batch, you can also use a potato ricer.

4. Serve the Fairy Butter in a pretty dish and serve with hot scones, pancakes, griddle cakes, toast, crumpets, traditional tea cakes and loaves.
