Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whip the Butter: Place the softened butter in a medium-sized bowl. Using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the butter on medium-high speed for about 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add Honey: Once the butter is whipped, add the honey to the bowl. Continue whipping the mixture at medium speed until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture has a smooth and creamy texture.
  3. Mix in Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Continue whipping, gradually increasing the mixer speed to high, until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is fluffy, which takes about 3 minutes. Add a pinch of kosher salt to balance the sweetness, adjusting the amount to your taste. Optionally, add more honey, sugar, or vanilla to customize the flavor.
  4. Transfer and Serve: Transfer the whipped honey butter to a small ramekin or container. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. The butter can be spread easily on warm bread, muffins, or pancakes for a delightful sweet treat.

Notes

  • Use softened butter at room temperature for the best whipping results.
  • Adjust the amount of honey or powdered sugar depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • The whipped honey butter can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature before serving for easy spreading.
  • Add a pinch of salt carefully to enhance the flavors without overpowering the sweetness.
  • This recipe yields approximately 1 serving size suitable for immediate use or small batch needs.
