Sweet & Creamy Honey Butter
If you really want to elevate your bready side dishes, like cornbread, sourdough bread, or breakfast toast, try this delicious honey butter recipe. It’s a sinch to make, literally it takes 5-minutes, and it’s SO. GOOD!
The first time I ever had butter that had a little extra in it was actually at a Texas Roadhouse (lol). If I’m not mistaken, they add honey and a bit of cinnamon. Next time I had spruced up butter was at a local BBQ restaurant that we travel an hour to get to – it’s just that good! This recipe was my way of trying to replicate their butter. It’s the perfect blend of savory and sweet – just enough of both. But, there are so many different ways to make butter into something new, whether it be with savory or sweet additions.
