Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or until softened. Alternatively, microwave it for 5-10 seconds, being careful not to melt it completely.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and salt.
Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the ingredients until they are fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
Taste the honey butter and adjust the seasoning if desired. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat or more honey for additional sweetness.
Transfer the spiced honey butter to a small airtight container or shape it into a log using plastic wrap for easy storage.
Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve as a spread for warm biscuits, cornbread, or grilled meats and vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
