Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup (85 grams) honey
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Whipping Foundation: Using an electric hand mixer, transform softened butter into a light, voluminous texture by whipping for 3-4 minutes until dramatically aerated and pale.
- Flavor Infusion: Incorporate honey, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into the whipped butter, blending on medium speed for 60-90 seconds to create a harmonious, silky-smooth spread with perfectly integrated flavors.
- Presentation and Chilling: Transfer the luxurious mixture into a serving dish, meticulously scraping every bit from the mixing bowl, then refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and achieve an ideal spreading consistency perfect for warm toast, freshly baked biscuits, or artisan breads.
Notes
- Butter Temperature Matters: Ensure butter is completely softened at room temperature for the fluffiest, most spreadable texture without lumps.
- Whipping Technique: Beat butter longer than expected to create a light, airy base that dramatically improves overall consistency and mouthfeel.
- Flavor Balancing: Add honey and spices gradually, tasting as you go to achieve perfect sweet-to-spice ratio that complements your personal preference.
- Storage Wisdom: Keep honey butter refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 7-10 days, allowing flavors to develop and maintain optimal spreadability.
