If you make Irish soda bread (heck, any kind of homemade bread!) this butter flower is a nice accompaniment. (It is also a hit at pot lucks.)
It's not hard to do: take a chunk of hard butter and a paring knife and slice off strips of butter.....
.......using the 'petals' to build up a flower. This one is rather like a chrysanthemum. Longer slices make more a rose shape. Smooth the edges with your fingers and mould to desirable shape.
Enjoy!
that is adorable :)
simple yet magnificent
