With fresh, edible flower petals mixed right in, this sweet butter almost looks too pretty to eat.
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon, or orange extract, optional
1/4 cup fresh edible flower petals, washed and dried
Place the butter, confectioners' sugar, and extract in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the flowers and pulse-process just enough to distribute the flower petals. The butter should be speckled with flowers.
Scrape the butter from the food processor onto a piece of waxed paper. Roll the butter into a log shape inside the waxed paper. Place in the refrigerator until chilled. When ready to serve, slice the butter into thin rounds.
Alternately, you can place the butter in a shallow dish and serve that way (garnish the top with a fresh, whole flower if desired)
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
