Adding edible flower petals to an herbed butter creates a beautiful, but simple spread for hors d’ ouevres … - it's easy it's fun to create this Edible Flower Petal Snack!

Here's the source that inspired this edible Flower Snack! https://simplebites.net/herbed-butter-with-edible-flowers/  

Serve these on SALTINES…  This is a wonderful twist on one of my favorite childhood snacks- Butter on Saltines... only now we add Edible Flowers!

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter organic, room temperature... I personally PREFER President Butter from France- it's delightful and delicious... 

1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 small lemon

1/2 cup edible flower petals assorted, petals only

1/4 cup fresh herbs assorted, leaves only, mild

Arrange Saltine Crackers- with a knife for speading...

Instructions

- Using the back of a wooden spoon, smear the butter in a half-moon on a wooden cutting board, marble cheese board or platter. Really, anything works for presentation.

- Season the butter generously with the flaky salt and the fresh cracked pepper. Zest the lemon overtop the butter.

- Sprinkle on the flower petals and the fresh herb leaves, using as many or few as you like.

- Serve the butter with a Saltines (or a french bread or interesting crackers... I love the Saltines... hehehe!)

 Everyone always asks me- about Eating flowers- Can I? What do they taste like? Where to get them? 

All of that and more is answered in this blog... You can Eat Edible Flowers- as long as you know they are edible- have grown them yourself- and are aware what flowers are edible and which are not...www.GourmetSweetBotanicals.com is my go-to for Edible Flowers- they have such a huge selection- and they describe them so thoroughly- so you know what you are getting- what they will taste like (some like the buzz buttons make your mouth go numb for few minutes... FUN)... and I even have a taste test video on uBloom.com- that shares many of the edible flowers from Gourmet Sweet Botanicals... you can check it out here! https://ubloom.com/blog/2023/04/09/edible-flowers-taste-test-j/

Gourmet Sweet Botanicals ships right to your door.. it's that easy- or look for edible flowers at your local grocer or specialty market- they are becoming more and more popular.

I love this recipe- and I like the Old School - take on using Butter and Soda Crackers- it makes me think of my childhood- and it updates that simple snack- with Edible Flowers- and President Butter of course... WHEEE!
