What's the perfect accompaniment to Christmas pudding and mince pies?
Why, brandy butter, of course! It's easily found at any good supermarket, and definitely at Marks & Sparks. But why would you want to buy a tiny, exorbitantly priced jar, when you can make it yourself? So easy to make, so sinfully delicious. Last year, I ended up putting it on almost everything, not just pudding and pie. And truth be told, I wasn't averse to popping an entire teaspoonful into my mouth.
100g unsalted butter (softened)
225g icing sugar
5 tbsp brandy
Method
1. Beat softened butter until light and fluffy.
2. Add icing sugar; beat until fully incorporated.
3. Add brandy and stir well.
4. Spoon into serving dish.
5. Serve, and watch everyone die of noms.

what? only 5 tbsp? this can't be the eurasian version.
Oh, did I miss out a few steps?
1) Drink a couple glasses of brandy.
2) Whisk butter.
3) Drink a few more glasses of brandy.
4) Mix in sugar.
5) Drink brandy straight from the bottle.
6) Remember that you needed some brandy for butter, and shake out remaining 5 tbsps into butter mixture.
7) Serve brandy butter.
8) Go back into kitchen and open bottle of sherry in preparation to make sherry trifle.
