basil butter


hello my lovelies, just a quick one as i am dashing from one kitchen to the other at the moment, but found some time to make this today. it's a sweet butter - a basilbutter with honey that crowns every sunday brunch or turns an everyday breakfast into a feast. tastes delicious on brioche bread with some berries and keeps in the fridge for about a week.



100g butter, soft
2 tablespoons of runny honey
30g basil, chopped
juice of half a lemon
50g mascarpone
some berries
soft bread such as challa or brioche

mix the soft butter with honey, basil, lemonjuice and mascarpone in a mixer until creamy and mixed throughout.
spread on bread and garnish with the berries.
