Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 pinch salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, sweet variety)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, sweet variety)
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional, savory variety)
- 0.5 teaspoon minced garlic (optional, savory variety)
Directions
Step 1
Place the softened butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl. It’s important that the butter is soft to ensure it whips smoothly.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add the honey and salt to the whipped butter and continue mixing on medium speed until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
Step 4
If preparing the sweet variety, add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, then whip for an additional 30 seconds to distribute evenly.
Step 5
If preparing the savory variety, fold in the chopped fresh herbs and minced garlic using a spatula, mixing until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more honey for sweetness or more salt for savory flavor, as desired.
Step 7
Transfer the whipped honey butter to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Step 8
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best spreading consistency.
