Whether you're using it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or toast or as a dip for your favorite snacks, honey butter is the perfect addition and leaves you wanting extra spoonfuls.
In this recipe, we'll cover everything you need to know about making, storing, and using honey butter so you can enjoy its buttery goodness whenever want.
How to Make Honey Butter
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter and honey. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the butter and honey until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Continue beating the mixture for 2-3 minutes to ensure that the butter and honey are fully incorporated and smooth and creamy. Taste the honey butter and add more honey if you want it sweeter.
Once the honey butter is ready, transfer it to a container with a lid and store it in the refrigerator.
Notes:
- Cover leftovers tightly and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week; soften before use.
- To Freeze: Chill it in the fridge before spooning it onto plastic wrap. Next, secure it in a couple of layers of plastic wrap. Freeze for up to two months in advance. Refrigerate overnight to thaw.
- You can use salted butter- omit the kosher salt.
- You can also slice it into individual pieces after rolling it into a log and chilling it. Here's how to do it: Shape the blended butter into a rectangle on a piece of plastic wrap. Next, wrap the butter tightly in plastic wrap, folding the sides in, then the top and bottom. Refrigerate until firm, then roll into a log. Cut ¼- to ½-inch slices and arrange in a butter dish to serve.
