Whipped Vanilla Butter – Pata Wanira Tāwhiuwhiu
We all know those times where you need a touch of something to make your baking fancy! Well, this super simple recipe is one of those. Whipped butter with its favourite friend – vanilla are whipped in to submission with a touch of sweetness. I have added a touch of marahihi māpere (maple syrup) and puehu huka (icing sugar) but you can omit the marahihi māpere (maple syrup) if you don’t have it. If you do remove it, add one extra tablespoon of puehu huka (icing sugar) and it will be perfect.
Serve this pata (butter) on my hot cross buns or they are perfect on my date scones too.
