Ingredients for Anna Olson S Honey Lavender Butter

  • Salted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (or 2 teaspoons lavender extract)
  • 1/4 cup honey

How to Make Anna Olson S Honey Lavender Butter

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender (or 2 teaspoons lavender extract), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Using a hand mixer or spatula, thoroughly mix all ingredients until completely combined and smooth.
  3. **Option 1 (Freezing in Logs):** Shape the softened butter mixture into logs (approximately 1 inch in diameter). Wrap tightly in waxed paper or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
  4. **Option 2 (Freezing in Stars):** Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with the butter mixture. Pipe small star shapes onto a sheet of waxed paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until firm. Once frozen, pop the butter stars off the waxed paper and store in a zip-top freezer bag.
  5. Store frozen butter in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
