Lavender Honey Butter

For the past two years, my husband and I have celebrated our wedding anniversary by dining at the famous Sky City restaurant at the top of the Space Needle. Perched on the crest of the beautiful Seattle horizon, this restaurant offers nothing but savory elegance brimming from their masterful entres, all the way down to the delicious details of the butter served with warm bread before dinner. It was there that I first experienced the subtle sweet taste of lavender honey butter.

I realize the humor in the fact that, out of all the amazing food the restaurant has to offer, I chose to seek out a recipe for the butter. However, it was the warm bread and butter that first welcomed us to the table before our meal even began. And it was that very same bread and butter that stuck in my mind throughout the entire evening. So that night, I came home and began hunting for the recipe online.

Luckily for me, I came across the recipe (found at http://www.food.com/) and have been enjoying it ever since. Whether you're sampling it in a fancy restaurant, or simply savoring it with tea and a biscuit in the comfort of your own home; this easy-to-make butter recipe is one worth sharing.
