Followed your recipe right on down & your flavored butter is wonderful! Used it initially on some special French toast I'd made & now look forward to having it on some pancakes over the next few days! A great keeper of a recipe, thanks to you!

This is lovely! I used ghee instead of butter and xylitol instead of splenda and used it for recipe #403674 and on a coconut flour pancake with papaya. So good :) Thanks for posting, Mike!

Oh Mike, this is *so* good. I used it on Recipe #13372 this morning for a wonderful treat. Super simple to make and it will keep a very long time in the fridge. Thanks so much for a real keeper. Made for *Partying The Diabetic Way*

I made this up last night to have this morning on toasted English Muffins. I've had compound butters before but never vanilla. We really enjoyed it. Lazyme is right, the vanilla meat adds so much more flavor than using vanilla extract. Thanks mikekey!

Wonderful! This is so simple and the vanilla 'meat' really puts this butter over the top. I used this on French Toast, but have some in the freezer to try with other breakfast items. Thanks mikekey.
