Not a whipped butter, but a rich dessert composed of orange-flavoured strands. It looks very attractive and may also be used instead of whipped cream as a topping on a trifle or gateau.

2 tsp (10 ml) orange juice, strained

2 tsp (10 ml) orange flower water

3 tbls (25 g) icing sugar (confectioners sugar), sifted

1 stick (8 Tbsp)4 oz (100 g) butter, softened

2 tsp (10 ml) grated orange rind to decorate

1. Sieve the egg yolks into a bowl.

2. Using an electric whisk or rotary beater, gradually add the juice, orange flower water, sugar and butter until all the ingredients form a smooth paste.
