Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Place the unsalted butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Ensure the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to mix.
Step 2
Add the honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the bowl with the butter. If you prefer a slightly salty flavor to balance the sweetness, add a pinch of salt.
Step 3
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the mixture until it is well combined, fluffy, and smooth. Taste and adjust the quantities of honey or lemon if desired.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to a small serving bowl or roll it into a log using plastic wrap for easy storage and slicing.
Step 5
Refrigerate the Lemon Honey Butter for about 30 minutes, or until it firms up slightly, if you prefer a sturdier texture.
Step 6
Serve on toast, muffins, pancakes, or any baked goods of your choice. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
