  • Homemade Honey Butter with Cinnamon:
    • Add a touch of warmth and spice by incorporating ground cinnamon. Start with one teaspoon and adjust according to your taste. This is very similar to the sweet creamy butter you find at Texas Roadhouse.
  • Homemade Honey Butter with Lemon:
    • For a refreshing twist, zest a lemon and add it to the honey-butter mixture. Squeeze in a little lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
  • Homemade Honey Butter with Vanilla:
    • ( Yum! ) Infuse your honey butter with the wonderful aroma of vanilla. Add one teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the mixture and mix well.

    • For a nutty flavor, stir in 1/4 cup of finely chopped almonds or almond meal. This variation adds a delightful crunch to the butter. If you don’t have almonds or would prefer the smooth and creamy and not the crunch, you could try adding a little almond extract instead.

  • Breakfast Treats:
    • Spread honey butter on freshly baked biscuits, toast, pancakes, or waffles for a sweet and indulgent start to your day.

Make Your Own Popcorn Salt

Ever notice when you buy a bag of pre-popped popcorn it tastes salty but you don’t notice a grainy salt texture? Or see the popcorn salt at the theater seems very fine compared to the salt you typically have at home.

That’s because they are using actual popcorn salt rather than plain table salt. Of course, you can find popcorn salt for a premium price n the store. It will be located along with all the other popcorn fixings and varieties.

The thing to discover how easy it is to make yourself, you will never have to pay top dollar for it again.

Don’t Pay Twice For What You Already Purchased

Popcorn salt is extremely easy to make. All you need is salt, (any kind of salt will work) and a food processor or a coffee grinder, spice grinder, etc. plus a decent spice shaker.

As long as you have those three things, you’re in business.

Salt made for popcorn will adhere to the popcorn better plus it will blend with other homemade popcorn seasonings better than table salt.

Personal Preference

Personally, I prefer to use kosher salt or canning to make popcorn salt. Which ever one I have on hand at the time. Table salt will work though if that is what you happen to have. I like the others because they don’t have the iodine as most table salt does. Sure, we need a little iodine in our diet but I think we get enough when salting our everyday foods.
