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...
