1 stick butter
1/4 c brown sugar
6 oz honey
1 egg at room temperature
1 c peanut butter (crunchy or regular)
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
Optional: Sprinkle with sugar before baking
Preheat oven to 350*
In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the honey, beating continuously. Beat in the egg and peanut butter and mix well. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the flour.
Spoon onto baking sheet, spaced well apart, and press flat. Bake 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool until firm and crunchy, then serve.
Beeswax is the purest of all natural waxes. Only honey bees make beeswax, and once it is molded cakes, it is practically indestructible. No insects or animals will feed on it, so it may be stored for long periods of time.
Some common uses are lining baking pans with it to prevent certain pastries from sticking and to create a crunchy crust. It is used to waterproof wooden kegs and buckets, and season cast iron. It can stop squeaky door hinges, smooth rough spots on braces or dentures, and also help preserve flowers. Beeswax is also used in quilting, furniture polish, leather conditioners, marble repair, ointments and balms. Some people use it for finishing iron work, bronze preservation, mustache wax, etching glass, tack cloths, brick floor sealers, soap making, fruit coating, and lubricants for zippers, windows and drawer slides. And these are only some of their uses.
Beeswax candles have been highly prized since ancient times. Honey bees, long regarded as models of industry and purity, make their wax from the nectar of flowers. Pure beeswax candles with their delightful sweet fragrance burn longer, more cleanly, and give off more light than other wax candles.
Pure beeswax may develop a white film called bloom which can easily be removed by buffing with a soft cloth.
