I don’t know about you, but I have incredible childhood memories of honey butter.
We only got it from the store once when I was little and I have made it by myself ever since, even if it meant swirling butter and honey together on my plate with a fork.
What can I say, I’ve always been an incredible mess-maker.
Nowadays I love to whip up a batch to go with my Light and Fluffy Pancakes with Peaches or even my Skinny Crunchy Stuffed French Toast.
I like to keep my honey butter simple, sometimes I add cinnamon and sometimes I leave it plain.
I don’t think it needs any additional sweeteners apart from the honey unless you like things very sweet.
This recipe makes a small batch because I prefer to make our honey butter fresh every time we use it.
It’s the perfect special treat to serve at a weekend family brunch or to bring as a gift when you’re invited – it’s amazing eaten right from the spoon.
Uhm, did I say that out loud? I meant slathered on pancakes & waffles.
