I'm a fan of flavored butter, and this honey butter has to be one of my faves. It's quite easy to "whip up" and doesn't involve any special equipment, just a wooden spoon. With only 4 ingredients, this recipe can't be beat!

Honey butter is great on biscuits, dinner rolls, pancakes, waffles, and anything that needs a little sweetened butter. I sometimes just eat a wee little bit on its own. It's that good.

If you love flavored butter, be sure to try my garlic herb butter.

Happy Cooking,

A Quick Look at the Ingredients

Ingredient amounts and full recipe instructions are on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Unsalted butter, softened - salted butter works too, just skip the added salt
• Honey - any variety works, though raw honey adds great flavor
• Powdered sugar - dissolves smoothly into the butter, so you don't get any graininess like you would with granulated sugar
• Kosher salt - brings out the flavor.

How to make Honey Butter

Step 1: Gather your ingredients. There are only four 🙂

Step 2: Add them to a bowl and use a wooden spoon to mix until combined.

Step 3: Spread on your favorite dinner roll, bread, or pancakes 🙂

How to Store Honey Butter

Store the butter in an airtight container or roll it in parchment paper.

Honey butter can keep for a while, so long as it's stored properly. If made with pasteurized butter, it can stay on the counter for about 1-2 days. Any longer and you risk the butter becoming rancid.

The shelf life of butter increases when you refrigerate it, up to 3 months. You can also freeze it, just defrost before using.

Serve these with...

• Honey Whole Wheat Dinner Rolls
• Pumpkin Waffles
• Banana Oatmeal Pancakes
• Homemade Biscuits

Notes

• Use unsalted butter for this recipe. If you only have salted, then reduce the amount of added salt.
• Soften your butter before making this recipe. Ideally you should take it out of the fridge atleast 30 minutes before using it, but I let mine sit out a little longer until it gets really soft, about 1-2 hours. If you are in a pinch, you can gently heat it in the microwave but take care not to melt it.
• If not using straight away, be sure to wrap it once it has chilled or store it in an air-tight container. For an even lighter whipped butter, use a mixer to mix the ingredients. However, with really softened butter, I find a wooden spoon, or any spoon, gets great results.
