Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Ensure the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to mix.
Add the honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl with the butter. If you prefer a slightly salty flavor to balance the sweetness, add a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the mixture until it is well combined, fluffy, and smooth. Taste and adjust the quantities of honey or lemon if desired.
Transfer the mixture to a small serving bowl or roll it into a log using plastic wrap for easy storage and slicing.
Refrigerate the Lemon Honey Butter for about 30 minutes, or until it firms up slightly, if you prefer a sturdier texture.
Serve on toast, muffins, pancakes, or any baked goods of your choice. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
