Tips:

The recipe is also a recipe for Brandy Butter Sauce – simply melt it so it can be poured over whatever it is being served with.

Before making this, your butter should be at cool room temperature for best results. Take it out of the fridge and leave it on the benchtop until it’s soft enough that you can push a dent into it but not so soft so as to look greasy or a darker yellow colour.
If the mixture seems to curdle or separate as you beat it, add a little extra icing sugar until it holds together and looks creamy again.
