2 Easy Ingredients
Butter: Use regular or premium butter, and ensure it is softened before adding the honey. Salted butter is ideal for this recipe, for a mouthwatering sweet-salty combination, but you can use unsalted if you prefer.

Variations: Spice up your honey butter with cinnamon or pumpkin spices. Add extra salt or adjust the amounts of honey to make it as sweet and salty as you like.

My Favorite Way to Use Honey Butter
The sky’s the limit when it comes to honey butter’s usefulness!
Honey butter can enhance the savory flavors in dishes.
- Use it on a fried chicken and biscuit sandwich.
- Slather it on herb garlic bread, cornbread, biscuits, or Irish soda bread.
For a luscious treat, melt it on slices of fluffy sweet warm bread. Honey butter gives extra yum to banana, pumpkin, or lemon zucchini bread.
Storing Leftovers
Honey butter will harden in the refrigerator, making it too difficult to spread. Store it in a crock with a cover at room temperature, and whip up a new batch anytime it gets used up.
If you wish to freeze it, wrap it tightly in plastic and freeze it in zippered freezer bags for up to two months.
