  2. **Orange Butter:** In a separate small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup orange zest, 2 tablespoons orange juice, and a pinch of salt.
  3. **For both butters:** Beat each mixture with an electric mixer or a fork until light and fluffy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
