Honey Butter Shanachie

Gandalf The White's Note:

This was a demonstration recipe at Charlotte Anne Albertson's Cooking School (Wynnewood, PA), for "Awesome Soups with Brian Duffy" (Jan 24, 2006). Brian Duffy (http://www.chefduff.com) hosted the Food Network shows "Date Plate" and "Hot Trends 2005" and is executive chef at Shanachie, an Irish restaurant in Ambler, PA. Shanachie specializes in soups and serves Wheaten Bread (rz. 28076) with Honey Butter with its soups. The original recipe (restaurant quantity) is 30 lbs butter (preferably Irish unsalted butter) and 10 lbs honey (preferably clover honey). If you're not feeding an army, this is the reduced recipe, approximately the same proportion ... The "cooking time" listed is to warm the butter and then chill it back. Assuming a 1 tsp portion, this will make 24 pats of butter.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins

Made as written and shapped into a log also. Very delicious on hot biscuits in the morning and we have plenty left to use on biscuits again. Thank you. Made for Fall PAC 2011.

Made this over the weekend for a group of friends, forming it into a log so that slicing off a pat of butter would be easy! ABSOLUTELY EASY! ABSOLUTELY TASTY! And absolutely thanks for sharing this keeper recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my Vegetarian partners in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 7]
