Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Pecans
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Confectioners’ sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

1. Toast the pecans: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pecans and toast them for 4–5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color. Be careful not to burn them.

Step 2

2. Cool and chop pecans: Remove the pecans from the skillet and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Once cooled, roughly chop them into small pieces.

Step 3

3. Soften the butter: While the pecans cool, let the butter sit at room temperature until it becomes soft and pliable. You can also soften it in the microwave for 10–15 seconds if needed, but do not melt it.

Step 4

4. Mix the butter base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, confectioners’ sugar, smoked paprika, vanilla extract, and salt. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to whip everything together until it is smooth and fluffy.

Step 5

5. Add the pecans: Gently fold the chopped, toasted pecans into the butter mixture until they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

6. Chill and serve: Transfer the honey pecan butter into a ramekin or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve at room temperature for easy spreading.
