Ready in 5 Minutes

If you happen to have a little butter, a little honey, and a little salt on hand then you’re just 5 minutes away from one of my favorite quick & easy recipes. Homemade honey butter is incredibly simple to make and it elevates anything you add it to.
Perfect for smearing on everything from homemade bread or biscuits to cornbread, or crepes, it adds a lovely, richly flavored sweetness to anything you pair it with. Without further ado, let’s get to this super simple recipe.

What You Need

This recipe is as simple as it gets! Here’s what I use!

Butter. Make sure it’s softened to room temperature so that it creams nicely with the honey. Since this “recipe” has only three ingredients, I recommend using the best quality you can find of each. Regular or generic butter will work, but make a brand that you enjoy the taste of (and I personally recommend using European butter!). Honey. Again, ingredient quality matters! Make sure you’re using a honey that tastes good to you. Many people prefer the taste of wildflower honey over clover honey.Finely ground sea salt. Salt helps to balance the flavor so it’s not too sweet. As with many of my recipes, I prefer to use unsalted butter and then add the salt to taste, it gives us the best control over the flavor.

SAM’S TIP: Sea salt adds the best flavor, but in a pinch you can substitute an equal amount of regular table salt. This is just an overview of the ingredients I used and why. For the full printable recipe (with amounts!) please scroll down to the bottom of the post!
