TRADITIONAL ENGLISH CUMBERLAND RUM BUTTER



Traditional English Cumberland Rum Butter image

A lightly spiced butter, laced with dark rum - this traditional old recipe originates from the county of Cumberland in the Lake District of Northern England. In Cumberland, rum butter served with oatcakes or buttermilk scones were given to friends who called at the house to see a new baby. In turn they would leave a silver coin, and on the day of the christening, when the butter bowl was empty, the coins were placed in it. A sticky bowl, with plenty of coins sticking to it, meant that the child would never be wanting. The saying goes...... "Butter symbolizes the richness of life, sugar the sweetness of life and rum, the spirit of life." Cumberland rum butter is traditionally served with Christmas pudding and mince pies; it also makes a wonderful gift for any new parents or to give throughout the festive season.

BRANDY BUTTER

Make this for our Mincemeat Hand Pies.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
3 tablespoons good-quality brandy

Steps:

  • Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on medium-high speed until creamy. Mix in the brandy.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the rum or brandy butter will be. Use unsalted butter and make sure it's at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help the butter cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the butter. Overbeaten butter will be grainy and not as smooth. Beat the butter just until it's light and fluffy.
  • Add the rum or brandy slowly. Adding the rum or brandy too quickly can cause the butter to curdle. Add it slowly, in a steady stream, and whisk constantly.
  • Chill the butter before serving. This will help the butter to firm up and become easier to spread.
  • Use rum or brandy butter as a spread for toast, pancakes, or waffles. You can also use it as a filling for cakes or cookies.

Conclusion:

Rum or brandy butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give rum or brandy butter a try. You won't be disappointed!
