This is the dish I tend to be in charge of at home, cos if you're going to have Christmas pudding, you need the right thing to go with it :))
(Warning, this recipe is very much a Chef's measure recipe)
(Also, this makes a ton of it xD)
1 block of butter, as bought in local supermarket About the same amount of sugar (same weight(ish) as the butter you're using) Brandy! (1 tablespoon MAX)
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy - VERY carefully, add the brandy, a small bit at a time (like adding vanilla essence - add to much, it all goes horribly wrong), beating it into the butter - Once it's all added, put it into a small dish, cover with clingfilm, and sit it in the fridge till needed!
It's a good idea to make this up the day before it's needed as it gives it time to chill and be awesome. Also, the brandy means that this stuff ends up incredibly strong if you add more than a tablespoon :D
