Brandy butter recipe
Nothing beats that moment when a score of home-spun mince pies appears fresh from the oven for a table of familiar gannets. They may look a little wonky and crumbly, the pies, but when the lids are flipped off for a dollop of brandy butter all is evidently quite right.

Step-by-step

- Then gradually add the brandy, tasting as you go.
- Put the brandy butter in the fridge and serve very cold, so it's almost like an ice-cream accompaniment to the hot mince pies.
