Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften.
Place the softened butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add honey, orange zest, orange juice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.
Using a spatula or hand mixer on low speed, thoroughly combine the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or orange flavor if desired by adding a bit more honey or orange zest.
Transfer the honey orange butter to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap, then shape it into a log or your desired form.
Wrap the butter tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
Serve chilled or bring to room temperature for easier spreading. Pair with bread, scones, pancakes, or waffles.
