  • In a food processor or mini food processor, pulse butter until light and fluffy.
  • Whisk orange juice, powdered sugar, orange zest, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the orange juice mixture, a small amount at a time, pulsing until each addition is absorbed.

Notes

This recipe is based on a memory of whipped orange butter that I tasted years ago at a restaurant called " Ye Olde College Inn" in Houston, TX, where we used to go for brunch. They served it with Blueberry Muffins.
