Honey Butter Recipe
Description
Honey Butter Recipe combines softened unsalted butter with sea salt and honey whisked together until fully blended. The result is a creamy spread that has a sweet and slightly salty flavor profile. Because the ingredients are simple, the texture is smooth and easy to spread at room temperature.
This butter compound can be applied to bread, muffins, pancakes, or as a finishing touch to cooked vegetables. Storing it covered in the refrigerator keeps it fresh for several weeks. Warming honey before mixing can make blending easier. Letting the spread come to room temperature before serving makes it easier to apply evenly.
The honey butter also freezes well when tightly wrapped, extending storage up to six months. Planning ahead by preparing it a few days in advance is convenient for gatherings or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 butter stick, softened, unsalted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until they are combined.

Notes
- Make the honey butter up to 3 days ahead to let flavors meld for best taste.
- Store the honey butter covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks to maintain freshness.
- Freeze tightly wrapped honey butter for up to 6 months for longer storage.
- Warm honey briefly in the microwave before mixing to ease blending with butter.
- Allow softened butter to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before spreading for easier application.
