Description

Spread this tasty compound butter with lemon zest and poppy seeds on scones, pancakes, or muffins, or add some over top of your favorite roasted veggies.

Ingredients

1 stick salted butter, softened
1 medium lemon, zested
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/2 teaspoon honey

Directions

1 Combine butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, poppy seeds, and honey in a small bowl.
2 Place butter on top of a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log. Fold one side of the plastic wrap over the log and roll into a tube, shaping with your fingers as you roll tightly. Twist the ends to seal.
3 Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will develop. Unroll from plastic wrap and slice.
