Homemade Honey Butter

Sweet and creamy butter with honey and a pinch of sea salt. Unbelievable on just about anything.

It really is the best thing ever.

Take butter.

Beat it until smooth.

Add honey.

And a little confectioners’ sugar and sea salt.

(The sugar makes it so creamy!)

Yup. That is all.

Honey butter is one of life’s greatest experiences. Because yes, when you spread this lovely indulgence onto a piece of toast, it truly is an experience.

If toast isn’t your thing, maybe strawberry buttermilk pancakes are? Or biscuits, honey oat bread, cinnamon raisin bread, and obviously chocolate chip scones.

I’m pretty sure honey butter goes with everything. For proof, see below.

Lusciously divine.

Homemade Honey Butter

Yield: just over 1 cup

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Sweet and creamy butter with honey and a pinch of sea salt. Unbelievable on just about anything.

Print Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature¹


• 1/3 cup (113g) honey


• 3 Tablespoons (23g) confectioners' sugar


• 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt²

Directions:

1. In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Beat in the remaining ingredients, starting with only 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Beat on medium speed until completely smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Taste. Add more salt (up to 1/4 teaspoon) if desired.


2. Serve with a drizzle of honey and/or a sprinkle of sea salt. Cover leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to a week or so.


3. Make ahead tip: For longer storage, you can freeze the honey butter. To do so, chill the honey butter in the refrigerator and then spoon onto a piece of plastic wrap. Then wrap it up tightly with a couple layers of plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Recipe Notes:

Try adding a pinch of cinnamon! Mmm...

1. Salted butter works too-- you can leave out the sea salt. Or keep it in for a more profound salty/sweet flavor.


2. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and add more as you please.
