Honey Butter

 Ingredients

            1/3 cup honey
            1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter

Instructions
 

  • Take the butter out of the fridge at least 30 minutes prior to starting to recipe so it has a chance to soften up (room temperature is ideal).
  • Add the butter to a mixing bowl, and using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until it's fluffy.
  • Pour in the honey, and some salt, and continue mixing until you've got a smooth mixture.
  • Transfer the honey butter to a bowl or jar.
    You can definitely add more honey if you wish; you can give it a taste and mix in more honey if needed. But remember the taste gets stronger as it sits in the refrigerator.
