Lemon-Poppy Seed Compound Butter

Spread this tasty butter on scones, pancakes, or muffins, or add some over top of your favorite roasted veggies. The possibilities are endless. This has a touch of sweetness to balance out the lemon, but feel free to adjust the honey to your tastes or intended use.

Ingredients

• 1 stick salted butter, softened
• 1 medium lemon, zested
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.75 teaspoon poppy seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon honey

Steps

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.
