Susan's Honey Bee Butter

Debber's Note:

Since we have our own beehives, I'm always on the look-out for great recipes to use up our beautiful wild blend of honey which we harvest/extract every October. This recipe from Susan Branch's "Autumn" book makes cornbread, scones and panny cakes sing with delight! And you will, too!

I just baked some fresh rolls and my BF asked for honey butter to spread on his... and I find this as the featured recipe of the day!!! I usually do not measure out my butter/honey proportions but this time I did... really nice and creamy... great on fresh, hot bread! I used raw honey and unsalted butter... Thanks for sharing!!!

I made this to go with some wonderful fruit and nut scones. I have heard of butter mixed with honey, although other than as joint ingredients in a recipe, have never tried it. Was I ever missing out! Yummy. It went perfectly on the scones, and can't wait to try it on some cornbread too. ~Bird
