Honey Butter Recipe's the Whole Family Will Enjoy!

My husband, the beekeeper, from http://www.davesbees.com/, told me last summer we were able to take off some honey from the hives. I was so EXCITED, and I geared up my taste buds for some of that long awaited honey. I thought about what I would do with the first tastings of pure honey from the "Wright Family Farm," and the family suggested homemade biscuits. 


I thought I would share my Honey Butter Recipe online, as it makes for a delicious topping on biscuits. There are all kinds of different recipes for Honey Butter, some call for raw egg, some call for confectioner's sugar; some add cinnamon such as mine does. Experiment for yourself, and when possible, buy pure honey from a Natural Beekeeper. When I talk about "Pure" honey, I'm talking about honey that corn syrup has not been added to it, to stretch the honey; I'm also talking about honey that is taken off a hive where the beekeeper doesn't use any chemicals in the keeping of their bee colonies inside the hive. Yes, it is true, beekeeping is simple, but complicated-- a hobby for some, a source of "money for honey" for others...


Spicy Honey Butter Recipe

1 cup softened, butter or non-hydrogenated margarine
1/2 cup pure honey, more or less--
1/4 cup sifted, confectioner's sugar
1/8 tsp pure or Mexican vanilla
1/2 tsp Korintje cinnamon or (add just a dash of your favorite cinnamon, to your taste)

Place all ingredients in a bowl and blend until fluffy, for about half a minute. Voila! A delicious, Honey Butter Recipe with a dash of spice, that the whole family can enjoy on their hot, fresh out of the oven biscuits. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.

Honey Butter Recipe 2

1/2 cup (1-stick) softened, butter
1/4 cup honey or (add according to taste)

Place butter and honey in mixing bowl and blend, for 30 seconds. Enjoy on biscuits, yeast rolls, pancakes, waffles, or corn bread. It's YUMMY! Store in airtight container and refrigerate.

Visit Amazon.com to buy my children's book "Buzzzzzzz: What Honeybees Do." It is a basic beekeeping book about honeybees, with real photographs. This is a book that not just children will learn from, teachers, parents and grandparents turning the pages of Buzzzzzzzz will all get a little education about honeybees and what they do. 

Thanks for visiting my blog,
