Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 cooked egg yolks, from hard boiled eggs
• 1 tablespoon rose water or 1 tablespoon orange blossom water
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar (confectioner's sugar)
• 2 ounces fresh organic butter, unsalted

Recipe

• 1 pound the cooked egg yolks with the floral water, (rose water or orange blossom water) and the icing sugar. make a fine paste with all of the ingredients.
• 2 add the egg yolk mixture with the softened butter and mix thoroughly. when it is well mixed and smooth, allow the butter to firm up in a cool place or the fridge.
• 3 take the block of firm fairy butter and push it through a sieve, so that the little "fairy" pieces of butter fall in a loose heap on to a pretty serving plate. i have also used a tea strainer; it is smaller and easy to use. if you are making a large batch, you can also use a potato ricer.
• 4 serve the fairy butter in a pretty dish and serve with hot scones, pancakes, griddle cakes, toast, crumpets, traditional tea cakes and loaves.
