Honey.
Here are several healthy and easy recipes to use honey in.
Recipe One: whipped honey
When honey crystallizes, you have two options- the heat-up method or you make whipped honey
What is Whipped Honey? Whipped honey, also known as creamed honey, is a smooth and spreadable version of honey that's been processed to control crystallization. Unlike regular honey, it has a silky, buttery texture that makes it ideal for spreading on toast, biscuits, or mixing into tea. The whipping process prevents the formation of large crystals, giving it a light, fluffy consistency while maintaining all the natural sweetness and flavor of honey.
Step 1:
Place the crystallized honey in a mixing bowl.
Step 3:
Once whipped, transfer it to a jar and let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours to firm up.
Step 2:
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the honey on medium speed for about 20 minutes, until it becomes creamy and smooth.
