Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 60 grams Pecans, finely chopped
- 45 grams Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Place a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped pecans to the skillet and toast them for 3–5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once fragrant and slightly browned, remove the pecans from the heat and let them cool completely.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and honey. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Stir in the cooled, toasted pecans, cinnamon (if using), and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
4. Transfer the pecan honey butter to a serving dish or an airtight container. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the butter for 20–30 minutes before serving.
5. Serve the pecan honey butter on warm biscuits, toast, pancakes, or use it as a topping for sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
