What to Serve with Honey Butter
One of the things we love most about honey butter is how versatile it is. Slathered generously on warm artisan bread, it melts into every crack and crumb. Spread over pancakes or waffles, it turns an everyday breakfast into something a little more magical. It’s the kind of spread that feels just as special for a slow weekend morning as it does for a cozy weekday treat.

Honey Butter
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
1/3 Cup Raw Honey
1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
Step 1:
Place the softened butter and raw honey into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a hand mixer and bowl. Mix on a low setting until the two are evenly blended and smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
Step 2:
Add the sea salt and continue mixing just until combined. The honey butter should look pale and airy while still holding its shape—stop mixing as soon as it reaches this texture to avoid over-softening.
Step 3:
Transfer the honey butter onto the center of a piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper over the butter and gently roll it into a log, twisting the ends closed. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes, or until lightly firm, before serving.
