HONEY PECAN BUTTER:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted

I didn't make the honey butter due to lack of time but I'm sure it would be delicious! My first bite was not what I expected. It was warm and gooey but so yummy. We loved these! This recipe made about 12 pancakes.
