🛒 Ingredients

• Butter (softened): Contributes a rich and creamy base to the whipped honey butter. The softened butter ensures a smooth texture, and makes it easy to whip into a light airy consistency.
• Honey: Adds natural sweetness and a distinctive flavor to the butter. The choice of honey can influence the overall taste, offering floral notes, depth, and complexity to the spread. I prefer using a light-golden honey as it has a milder taste than dark-colored honey.
• Powdered Sugar: Enhances sweetness and contributes to the lightness of the whipped texture. The addition of powdered sugar is optional and can be adjusted based on personal preference for sweetness.
• Pure Vanilla Extract: Infuses a hint of delicious vanilla flavor.
• Kosher Salt: Balances the flavor of the whipped honey butter. It can also be used to tamp down sweetness. Add a pinch or more to taste.

📖 Recipe Steps

Recipe Prep: Ensure that the butter is softened at room temperature. This will make it easier to whip into a smooth consistency.

1. Place softened butter in a medium bowl. Using an electric hand mixer (or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment), whip the butter on medium-high speed until it becomes light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Once the butter is whipped, add honey to the bowl. Continue whipping the mixture at medium speed until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
3. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla to the bowl. Continue whipping, gradually increasing the speed to high, until everything is well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Do a taste test. If needed, add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. Feel free to add a bit more honey, sugar, or vanilla to achieve the desired flavor.
4. Transfer the whipped honey butter to a small ramekin.

Recipe Tip: If the whipped honey butter is too thick, add a bit more honey or even a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency. If it’s too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar.

1. For a lovely presentation, add a drizzle of honey over the surface.

🧑🏼‍🍳 Expert Tips

• Use high-quality ingredients. Start with high-quality butter like Kirkland from Costco, Challenge, Tillamook, etc. Use pure, flavorful honey that complements your taste preferences. Each type of honey brings its own unique flavor profile to the mixture.
