The BEST Honey Butter: Creamy, Sweet, and Perfect for Everything


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale
(Makes about 1 cup)
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup (85g) pure honey (preferably raw or wildflower for depth)
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional but recommended)
Optional flavor boosts:
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp orange zest

Instructions

  1. Whip butter: In a bowl, beat softened butter with a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy (~1–2 min).
  2. Add honey: Drizzle in honey gradually while mixing on low speed to prevent splatter.

  4. Serve immediately or store for later!
