three moist cornbreads stacked with a drizzle of honey butter dripping down

This honey butter has been rolling around with us for awhile now and what a waste that I have not yet shared it with you.

Really you should all thank me though, because let’s be honest this is not the healthiest honey butter out there and you wont be able to resist any type of bread that rolls your way. Seriously, you’ll be finding excuses to make our famous potato rolls and our perfect homemade rolls. This honey butter is liquid gold. Technically I should be rich by now with how much I’ve consumed.

Oh golly, and wait until you have it on cornbread. It’s like a little wedding happens in your mouth. Yes, cornbread and honey butter love each other. It’s quite sweet actually. You know what would be a great idea? You could make it in little jars, maybe add fresh bread and bam! You’ve got Christmas gifts to the neighbors.

Now, this isn’t Texas Roadhouse honey butter so please don’t compare. This honey butter is an old recipe, in fact many of you might have grown up with it, but I’m bringing it back just like poncho pants. Is that even what they are called? And I’m actually really starting to dig them. You know what I’m talking about right? They are loose but then tight at the ankle. Forever 21, which has been keeping me feeling forever 21 for sure, has a whole bunch and I am so tempted to try some out.

Here’s the problem though, what do you wear with them? Like, just a t-shirt? I need fashion lessons for sure. Or I at least need a whole bunch of pictures to copy because I cannot dress myself cute for the life of me. I just stick to the same classic stuff. It’s why I like SoPerla.com. I feel like I can copy their cute outfits without worrying about wearing a trend wrong.

But who cares about that! Back to the butter. Haha, actually those poncho pants may come in handy as your thighs are expanding from all of this butter. So get on that.

Is Honey As Bad As Sugar?

Honey contains less fructose and glucose than sugar.

Honey and sugar are both carbohydrates.

Unrefined honey contains an abundance of various antioxidants, which help to maintain good health.

As far as sweeteners go, honey may be more healthy than sugar.

How Do You Soften Honey That Has Crystallized?

The best way to soften crystallized honey is to place the jar in a pot of warm water.

Set heat to medium-low and stir until crystals dissolve.

You can also microwave for 30 seconds, stir and cool for 20 seconds and repeat if needed.

How Long Will Honey Butter Keep?

Honey butter will keep in the fridge for as long as butter keeps in the fridge, at least 5-6 months.
