1. Start by taking the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and allowing it to soften to room temperature. This ensures that it mixes smoothly with the other ingredients.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter and whip it using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Gradually drizzle in the honey while continuing to whip the butter. Mix until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes creamy.
4. Sift in the powdered sugar to prevent lumps and add it to the bowl. Mix on low speed to prevent splattering, then increase to medium speed until everything is smooth and fluffy.
5. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if desired, especially if you'd like to enhance the flavor contrast. Whip again briefly to incorporate.
6. Transfer the whipped honey butter to a small serving dish or an airtight container. For the best texture, chill slightly before serving, but it can also be used immediately.
7. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Allow it to come to room temperature before using for easy spreading.
