I like everything with butter on it! I especially like lots of butter on my homemade popcorn. My dad makes this amazing sweet basil butter that we smother popcorn with and after years of keeping the recipe secret….I’m bringing it out to the public! Here is our family’s secret recipe (like it’s really that secret, the name says it all). I hope you find lots of uses for this amazing culinary staple.

Sweet Basil Butter

Adding herbs to butter gives it a sweet and savory taste. This recipe is so good on gluten-free bread, popcorn, and potatoes or fauxtatoes.
