Author Notes

In my humble opinion, what's a scone without a swath of butter slathered ontop, melting into each and every crevice of flavour potential? And why not add as much flavour as possible to that butter, taking your scone to brand new heights?

My Tea with Honey and Lemon Compound Butter is perfectly paired with any sweet treat you're serving at your next tea party.

The recipe I've submitted uses classic Orange Pekoe tea, but you can easily substitute with whatever your fave is (Earl Grey would be a seriously good choice!)

For an interesting change in baked goods, substitue this compound butter for regular butter.

Test Kitchen Notes

WHO: Thefood is a food-loving interior designer based in Canada.

WHAT: A rich, citrusy spread making brunch better, everywhere.

HOW: Just soften the butter, and then it's all about the add-ins.

WHY WE LOVE IT: So far, this lightly sweet, faintly herbal compound butter has revolutionized our morning toast. And our palms get a little sweaty when we think of what it could do to scones. In short: butter doesn't have to be boring. It should be this. —The Editors
