Whipped Lemon-Vanilla Bean Butter
This Whipped Lemon-Vanilla Bean Butter is super fluffy, easy to spread, and simple to make. It’s also delicious enough to be eaten with a spoon. I’m not even kidding.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup milk (set on counter 20 minutes before starting, to take the chill off)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (sift first if lumpy)
- 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh lemon zest (use a microplane zester)
- vanilla beans scraped from half of a vanilla bean
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, beat milk and butter on low/medium-low speed until it is evenly incorporated; this may take a bit.
- Then turn speed up to medium-high and beat for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl a couple times, until light and fluffy.
- Add remaining ingredients and beat again on medium-high speed for 1 more minute.
- Serve with muffins, breads, rolls, popovers, etc.
