Description
Rich, creamy, and irresistibly fluffy, this salted honey butter combines the perfect balance of sweet honey, a hint of vanilla, and flaky salt. It’s an easy, luxurious spread for breads, biscuits, and warm rolls.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon flaky kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the softened unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, whisk for about 2 minutes until the butter becomes pale and slightly fluffy.
- Add the honey, vanilla extract, and flaky kosher salt. Whisk again briefly, just until everything is fully combined while maintaining the airy texture.
- Transfer the honey butter to a serving dish. For added texture and flavor, drizzle a little extra honey on top and sprinkle with more flaky salt before serving.
Notes
- Use high-quality honey for the best flavor.
- Let refrigerated butter sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
- Freeze for up to 3 months in a sealed container and thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Double or triple the recipe easily; adjust whipping time as needed.
- Omit vanilla for a simpler flavor profile.
