- Preparation: 10 minutes (+ 30 minutes steeping and cooling time)
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb (250g) GAY LEA - Bakers Gold, softened

- Using electric mixer, beat butter, honey and salt until smooth. Place lavender in palm of one hand and rub with fingers to break up slightly and release fragrance; add to butter. Beat until combined.

- Use this delicate butter on warm, freshly baked scones, toast, freshly popped popcorn or to prepare homemade gourmet granola.
