Does anyone whip honey into butter for a spread?

This is not some kind of weird thing from my hillbilly family right?

Anyway whip some honey into soft room temperature unsalted butter.

Make a peanut butter banana sandwich using the honey butter on the inside of the bread (Texas toast thickness)

Butter the outside with the honey butter as well and grill like a grilled cheese sandwich.


USE CAUTION This sandwich is dangerous.

I have found myself contemplating making a third before coming to my senses

my mother used to make these exact sandwiches for our school lunches 50 years ago !.

people thought we were real weirdos because she also used wholemeal bread.

On fresh baked biscuits, on toast, on a slice of apple, used IN an apple pie, on French Toast and pancakes - wonderful

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but that sandwich sounds pretty tasty!

I loved it on toast when I was a kid! And they also made .... Cinnamon Honey Butter! YUM!!!

Do they still make that stuff? I think the company that made it was called Downey's.

all it takes is melted butter and honey, which now the microwave does so well.
Favorite application ...cornbread.

Hadn't thought of this in ages.



Honey butter, cinnamon also. Online info.: Kroger, Walmart, Amazon, etc. Land o' Lakes has a honey butter spread.

in the 60s. I then introduced my own daughter's to it years later and they loved it too. The one with cinnamon in it was my favorite.

Gosh, I'm definitely going to have to look for it in the store now.

and biscuits with butter and honey, but we were too cheap to buy stuff already mixed and too lazy to mix it other than right on what you were eating.

My Mom will add minced garlic/garlic flakes into butter for spaghetti or cheddar bay biscuits.

Wassabi and Horseradish butter

The name is the recipe.

She buys Wasabi powder from an Asian market and fresh horse radish root anywhere.

Be advised we live in south western Illinois - most of the nations horseradish is locally grown so it's literally for sale everywhere.

Anyway, just grate about a tablespoon of root and mix with a heaping TEASPOON of wasabi powder and 2 sticks of soft butter. The finished butter should be a bit grainy textured and an almost pastel green

Chill into logs and put a quarter inch think slice on a steak just before serving

always preferred peanut butter and butter sandwiches. He never ate PB&J. His favorite was grilled peanut butter and butter sandwiches.

BTW, we're a cross between hillbilly and Texas and BOTH of my parents were US Army veterans. I always joke about being raised by 2 army sargeants! Mom was WAC, Dad was RA for 23 years.

And when my dad retired we went back to SW PA - I claim Pittsburgh because it's the closest big city (Hush, it's as big as it gets in the Appalachians) but I grew up way closer to Wheeling WVA

Also tried it with sorghum ... mmmmmmmmmm.

It was something kids could make themselves while Mom watched, and it kept them out of her hair for a few minutes. Mom was from WV, so maybe there is something regional about it.
