Honey Butter
Sweet, fluffy honey butter. For a softer flavor, feel free to start with half the amount of powdered sugar and honey and add more to taste.
Servings 1 tablespoon servings (makes 2 cups)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, at room temperature
- ¾ cup powdered sugar If you want this less sweet, feel free to start with 1/2 cup.
- ⅔ cup honey
- ¼ teaspoon salt more or less to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or extract) optional
Instructions
- Place butter in the mixing bowl of a stand mixture, with the whisk attachment on. Beat on medium speed to break up the butter and scrape down the sides, and then turn speed to high for 2-3 minutes until the color lightens and texture is light and fluffy.
- Add powdered sugar and beat for another 2 minutes. Mixture should look incredibly fluffy and smooth. Scrape down sides.
- Add honey a little bit at a time until incorporated. Scrape sides and then beating on a high speed for 1 minute until smooth and fluffy.
- Serve at room temperature, and store longer-term in the fridge. To use again, you'll want to let it come to room temperature to be soft and spreadable.
Your butter should be room temperature at the warmest. Around 65-68°F is optimal. If you have to lean one way or another, too cold is better than too warm. It's going to whip at high speed, which will naturally soften it. If your butter is too soft, it will not whip properly. The finished product will still taste delicious, but it will not be as fluffy.
