Angelica Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Note: 1 cube butter=1/2 cup.
• Place the butter in a mixing bowl.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients.
• Place the mixture on a sheet of plastic wrap and set in the refrigerator until stiff enough to form a log.
• Shape the butter about 1 1/2" thick and cover with the plastic. Freeze the log until you are ready to use it. Tip: To shape the butter, I used an old stainless covered butter container like this: (http://myzerowaste.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/butter-dish.jpg) that I found at a second hand store. It wasn't exactly "log" shaped rather rectangular but it worked out well.
• Slice butter into 16 coin sized pieces so they will melt easily.
• Place directly from the freezer onto hot fish (grilled, poached, baked, etc.) or a variety of hot vegetables.
• Prep time does not include freezing the butter.
• Yield is half cup or approximately 16 butter "coins".

Steps:

• Beat softened butter, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, until butter mixture is fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees.
• Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• In a bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, grated cheddar cheese (if using) and baking soda; stir with a spoon to combine.
• Grate the frozen butter into the flour mixture; toss to combine.
• Make a hole in the center of the flour mixture.
• Add in the buttermilk all at once; stir just until moistened (do not overmix!).
• Divide the dough into two.
• Knead each dough piece gently, until dough holds together.
• Shape the dough into a semi-flat round ball. into a ball,.
• Wrap the balls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about one or more hours, before cutting into biscuits.
• Flatten with hands on a lightly floured surface to about a 1-inch thickness (can be thicker if desired for a higher biscuit).
• Cut the dough with a biscuit cutter into round shapes.
• Place on cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until lightly browned.
• **NOTE** because of the butter content, these biscuits tend to spread out a bit while baking, not too worry though, they are still to die for LOL!
