Notes

Butter – unsalted butter.
Soft Brown Sugar – or light muscovado sugar. I have always used soft brown sugar and love the caramel flavour it adds to the butter, but you can make it with caster sugar or icing sugar / powdered sugar.
Brandy – or use rum or sherry.
Make sure you use room temperature butter to allow you to beat it easily.
Add the brandy a little at a time otherwise the brandy butter can split.
For a smooth brandy butter: use icing sugar / confectioners sugar instead of the brown sugar.
Don’t add too much brandy as it can cause the brandy butter to split.
Over whipping the butter can cause it to become oily.
