That's what Pooh said when Rabbit asked him if he wanted honey or butter with his bread. The right answer for eating perhaps (or not, if you recall what happened to Pooh next), but it turns out that for burns, one should stick to just the honey.


Honey Can Soothe a Burn New York Times

In studies of quick and easy treatments to soothe mild burns, scientists have found that honey has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that may promote healing. One study in 2006, examining results of more than a dozen previous studies, found that small, nonserious burns healed faster when treated with gauze and a dash of honey, on average, than those treated with antibiotic creams and other dressings. A separate report published earlier found similar results.

Butter, on the other hand, can lead to infections.
