Instructions

Place the softened butter in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the honey and salt to the bowl.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2–3 minutes, until light, fluffy, and fully combined.
Taste and adjust the sweetness or salt if needed.
Transfer the honey butter to a jar or serving dish and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before spreading for a whipped texture.

Notes

Cinnamon Honey Butter: Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon for a cozy flavor.

Maple Honey Butter: Replace half the honey with maple syrup for deeper flavor.

Herbed Honey Butter: Mix in a pinch of thyme or rosemary for a savory twist.

Spicy Honey Butter: Add a dash of cayenne or hot honey for a gentle heat.

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Let it sit at room temperature before serving to regain fluffy texture.

Do not microwave to reheat—soften naturally at room temperature.
