A squeeze of lemon juice
3 t honey
100 g honeycomb (optional)
200 g butter
2 star anise
1⁄2 t ground cinnamon

Cooking Instructions

Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and heat until the butter has melted.

Cook's note: Nothing wrong with buttered toasty buns, but chocolate hot cross buns toasted over the coals, then drizzled in this spicy-sweet butter? We think we’re onto something...
