Categories: Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened butter (1 stick, 1/4 pound)
- 2 cups powdered (confectioner’s) (there’s no need to sift unless it’s got lumps)
- 2 Tablespoons (1/8 cup) brandy, whiskey, or rum
Directions
-
Beat the butter until it’s fluffy.
-
Continue to beat as you add 1 cup of the powdered sugar and 1 Tablespoon of the liquor.
-
Add the final cup of powdered sugar and the final Tablespoon of liquor and beat the mixture until smooth.
-
Check for consistency. This Hard Sauce should be fairly thick, but still pourable. If it’s too thin, beat in more powdered sugar. If it’s too thick, add a bit more liquor.
-
Store the Hard Sauce in a tightly-covered container in your refrigerator until thirty minutes or so before using it on your Minnesota Plum Pudding.
