Buttered Up

It was the Thanksgiving of 2008. I decided to go all out - there was even a notebook put together with recipes. This was one of those "things" I decided to try my hand at. My leaf didn't come out so great but I think my butter got a little warm so make sure it is pretty chilled.

Fall Leaf Butter

Flatten chilled butter with your hands or a rolling pin to about an inch thick, then cut with a cookie cutter. Drizzle with maple syrup just before serving. The combo is especially yummy on corn bread, rolls, or yams.
