Honey Butter
This honey butter is so easy to whip together! A final drizzle of honey and sprinkle of salt make it utterly irresistible. Recipe yields about ¾ cup—double it for a crowd.
Ingredients
- One stick of unsalted butter (4 ounces or 8 tablespoons), softened
- 3 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon fine salt
- For garnish: Drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt or kosher salt
Instructions
- In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup (or other small, shatter-proof mixing bowl with tall sides), combine the softened butter, honey, cinnamon and salt.
- Using a hand mixer, whip the ingredients together until the butter is light and fluffy.
- Transfer the mixture to a small serving bowl. Lightly drizzle honey on top, followed by a little sprinkle of flaky salt or kosher salt.
- Serve promptly, or refrigerate for later (let the mixture come back to room temperature before serving). Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 5 days.
Notes
Change it up: The cinnamon is technically optional but quite nice. You might enjoy other warming spices, like pumpkin spice blend, a dash of nutmeg or even some freshly ground black pepper. Maple syrup will work in place of the honey.
