    Ingredients

    Ingredients for honey butter laid out.

    Ingredient Notes

    Butter - I highly recommend using a higher-fat European-style butter. Because the butter is one of only 3 ingredients, the higher quality the better the flavor.

    Honey - You can use any honey you like, light or dark. I try to use local honey whenever possible.

    Salt - Fine kosher or sea salt will produce the best flavor. Try to avoid table salt since it tends to have a metallic flavor that can come through in this recipe.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Note: Full list of ingredients, their amounts, and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

    Step 1:

    Place softened butter, honey, and salt in a bowl.

    Step 2:

    Cream with an electric mixer set on medium speed until light, airy, and well combined, about 2 minutes.

    Enjoy!

    Ideas For Serving

    • Spread on rolls, muffins, and bread
    • In place of regular butter on pancakes, waffles, and french toast
    • Over roasted veggies such as carrots, parsnips, and radishes
    • On top of seared steak with some garlic and rosemary

    Tips & Tricks

    • If you only have salted butter, that will work too. Just leave out the additional salt.
    • The butter should be softened but not too soft. You want it to easily cream together with the honey and salt but not be melted.
    • For a prettier presentation, drizzle the honey butter with extra honey and sprinkle on a bit of flaky salt.

    Storage

    Store the honey butter in an airtight container. It should keep at room temperature for 1 to 2 days but for longer storage, up to 1 month, it will need to be kept in the fridge.

    Simply pull it out of the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before you want to use it so that it can soften a bit.

    The honey butter can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
