A couple of my writings on honey butter appear here:

Honey Butter: A Sweet Conundrum Or An Exercise in Buttering Up? 

by THL Johnnae llyn Lewis, CE. The Fret Knot. Winter-Spring 2014.

Holloway, Johnna. [Johnnae llyn Lewis.] “Honey Butter and Butter Sculptures. The Gauntlet. January 2008. 

There's even a note in one of the Stefan's butter files which reads 

"We have the honey butter references/discussion/argument/whatever and  
 My article on the topic can still be found here as a [PDF]
The Gauntlet Jan-Mar 2007 The Gauntlet. Page 9. January-March, 2008.  
Honey Butter and Butter Sculptures. THL Johnnae llyn Lewis

I am sure that the updated article in the latest version is sitting  
someplace in a file for Stefan to add to the Florilegium too."
My summary letter which is in the Florilegium concludes
"I think that is everything we have mentioned in the past decade.

So the lady looking for the butter recipes can probably find what we  
know and acquire the butter recipes for herself by
1. reading the file in the Florilegium
2. doing a search under butter or spiced butter in the SCA Cooks files
3. doing a search under butter in the recipe search section of  
medievalcookery.com

If she has access to EEBO, she can of course spend several weeks  
searching through the nearly 3000 butter references that pop up in  
English books when doing a full text keyword search on the term. The  
Biblical references alone fill pages."
And of course after that letter, I traced the SCA history back to the West Kingdom and 1969.
