Ingredients for making honey garlic butter.

How To Make Honey Garlic Butter

  1. To make this recipe all you need is a small saucepan. Preheat it over low to medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
  2. Let the butter bubble before you add the garlic. Stir the garlic through the pan because you do not want it to brown but stay a neutral color.
  3. If your garlic browns too fast you know the heat is too high. Then add the honey and again stir it through the butter until the honey is completely dissolved.
  4. Squeeze the lemon over the butter sauce and whisk through. Chop the parsley ultra-fine and finally add it to the pan.
  5. Let it simmer for about 1 minute and your butter sauce is ready to use or serve.

Tips:

  • If you use fresh butter and want to store this garlic butter you can keep it for about seven days in the fridge
