Butter is great by itself. But compound butters add an extra level of taste sensations to a dish without a lot more effort.

My original reason for making this beurre a l'orange was to use in Almond Orange Crepes. The recipe for both were inspired by Julia Child herself in the cookbook from her classic television show The French Chef.

How to serve Whipped Orange Butter

You can use this as you would any butter. Spread it on toast, biscuits, scones or muffins. Add it to baked good recipes. If you are feeling adventurous, spread some on fish or chicken after cooking to add a simple rich citrus burst.

Ingredients for Whipped Orange Butter

The ingredients are simple:

• orange - any variety
• granulated sugar, or powdered sugar or a powdered sugar substitute
• unsalted butter (you can add a pinch of salt at the end if desired)
• orange liqueur, optional (e.g. Triple Sec, Grand Marnier or Orang Curacao)

You can even switch it up with lemon or lime instead of the orange.
