We have three words for you guys... HONEY BUTTER TOAST ⁠
A big thanks to kitchen icon michaelfinch for showing us what dessert dreams are made of. ⁠
Here’s the recipe 👇👇 #HoneyLovers ⁠
⁠
Ingredients:⁠
2 slices thick-cut butter brioche⁠
5 tbsp butter, softened⁠
¼ cup brown sugar⁠
2 tbsp honey⁠
Pinch of salt⁠
Caramel sauce, optional⁠

Method:⁠
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.⁠
2. Slice the crusts off all sides of the bread.⁠
3. In a bowl, mix the butter and brown sugar, then stir in the honey and salt.⁠
4. Coat every side of the bread generously with the butter mixture.⁠
5. Place on a lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes. Flip the bread and bake the other side for 8-9 minutes.⁠ Heads up – they’ll be super soft and hot straight out of the oven!
6. Let them cool on a rack for 15-20 minutes so they crisp up just right. (Patience is key, or you’ll end up with bricks, not toast.)⁠
7. Optional but encouraged: Drizzle with caramel sauce, top with a scoop of ice cream, and finish with an extra pour of Capilano Pure Honey.

With spring wrapping up and summer just around the corner, Manuka flowers are coming into full bloom across Australia. This is when the real work begins for our bees 🌸 ⁠
They’ll be out from dawn till dusk, foraging the nectar that makes our Aussie Manuka Honey so special. It’s a critical time of year, and every drop of nectar counts as they craft that bioactive-rich honey we all know and love. ⁠

It’s tough work, but the rewards? Absolutely worth it #OozesAustralia ⁠
