This is 1 of my PAC choice recipes & it deserves however many stars there are in a galaxy! This truly awesome flavored butter is simply that spec & I hope everyone reads my review & makes your recipe. It does not mix well by hand, but is easy using an immersion blender to emulsify the ingredients & I suggest overnite refrigeration b4 use. It took me only a few min to make & I expect to get a lifetime of pleasure from those few min. I will use it for French toast & scones + the uses you suggested. *KUDOS to you* for sharing this outstanding recipe w/us. :-) Edited to Add: Forgot to say I did use the opt Grand Marnier & see that as a must for adult fare, but I bet it is good w/o it for kids too. :-)
