Ingredients

• 113 grams unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature for 30 minutes or until softened. Alternatively, microwave it for 5-10 seconds, being careful not to melt it completely.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and salt.

Step 3

Using a whisk or an electric mixer, whip the ingredients until they are fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Taste the honey butter and adjust the seasoning if desired. Add more cayenne pepper for extra heat or more honey for additional sweetness.

Step 5

Transfer the spiced honey butter to a small airtight container or shape it into a log using plastic wrap for easy storage.

Step 6

Chill the butter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Serve as a spread for warm biscuits, cornbread, or grilled meats and vegetables. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
