Honey Butter Recipe
Discover how to make the perfect honey butter recipe with this simple, step-by-step guide. Sweet, rich, and versatile!
Equipment
- Electric mixer or whisk
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula
- Jar or container for storage
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar optional
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon optional
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep Your Butter
- Let your butter soften to room temperature so it blends smoothly. Do not melt it, as we need the butter to maintain some structure.
- Note: Softening the butter outside the fridge for about an hour should do the trick.
Step 2 – Mixing
- In your mixing bowl, beat the butter using an electric mixer or a whisk until it’s creamy and smooth.
- Gradually add the honey and continue beating until it’s well incorporated. If you’re using powdered sugar and cinnamon, add them now.
- Beat the mixture on high speed for about 2 minutes or until it becomes light and fluffy.
- Warning: Be sure not to overmix, or the butter can become too loose.
Step 3 – Storage
- Transfer the honey butter into a jar or an airtight container.
- Store it in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Remember, it spreads best at room temperature, so pull it out a few minutes before you want to use it.
- Note: Honey butter can be stored in the fridge for up to a month.
Notes
- If you prefer a vegan option, use a plant-based butter substitute that can mimic the consistency of real butter.
- For a holiday twist, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to your honey butter.
