Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, sweet variety)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, sweet variety)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional, savory variety)
- 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic (optional, savory variety)
Instructions
Place the softened butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl. It’s important that the butter is soft to ensure it whips smoothly.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy.
Add the honey and salt to the whipped butter and continue mixing on medium speed until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
If preparing the sweet variety, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then whip for an additional 30 seconds to distribute evenly.
If preparing the savory variety, fold in the chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic using a spatula, mixing until evenly distributed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or more salt for savory flavor, as desired.
Transfer the whipped honey butter to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best spreading consistency.
