My Honey Butter recipe comes together in an instant and is good on everything from toast to bread rolls. I make mine with softened butter, honey, and a good amount of salt. Like it spicy? Hot Honey butter is life changing.

Hi hi! I am just popping in to share this super easy honey butter recipe with you! I make this all the time to have in the fridge - it is particularly good melted and spread over Parker House Rolls when they come out of the oven, but it is really amazing on anything that needs a touch of sweetness.
I used honey that came from our very own bees! All you need is softened butter, some honey of your choice, and some salt. That's it. If you want spicy honey butter, swap out the honey for a hot honey for a spicy twist which is SO good. You can serve this honey butter whipped as is, or roll it into a log to store in the fridge for later.
This Honey Butter is a recipe in a series of compound butter recipes that I have - you can see them all in my flavoured butter recipes. They would make AMAZING homemade gifts.


The Perfect Ratio for Honey Butter
The ratio that I use of butter to honey is 2:1, so for every 100g of butter, you use 50g of honey. This is a super helpful ratio to have,, so you can make easy honey butter no matter what quantity of ingredients you have on hand.


Please make sure that you salt your honey butter properly.
There is nothing worse than an unbalanced honey butter. I'm just joking, of course there is. However, make sure that you salt this properly - salt really brings out the honey flavour, and makes sure that the butter is balanced. I like to start with unsalted butter and then also add a big pinch of a flaky salt like Maldon salt, but you can use whatever you have on hand - just taste and adjust.
