Homemade Honey Butter turns ordinary bread or rolls into a delightful treat! Just three simple ingredients create this light, fluffy, tasty spread.
Honey Butter is one of those indulgences that I forget about sometimes, but once I whip up a batch I think to myself "I should have this on hand all the time!" This homemade honey butter recipe is so easy to make and makes even a boring slice of morning toast taste like a treat. And with just three ingredients, it comes together quickly without any mess.
All you need to make this sinfully sweet honey butter are three ingredients: butter, honey, and a little vanilla. That's it! Read on for tips on how to make this the lightest, fluffiest topping ever! It can be easily doubled (or tripled) depending on how much you want to serve.
I like to use sweet, salted, real butter for this recipe. It adds another level of flavor as you whip it up. However if you only have unsalted butter on hand, use it! You could even toss in a pinch of salt if you feel it needs it.
Make sure your butter is at room temperature! This is very important to ensure a creamy, fluffy texture. Room temperature butter mixes so well with the honey and won't be lumpy or chunky.
Mix the butter and vanilla together first. Then slowly incorporate your honey. If it seems to be separating a bit, keep whipping it until it's fully incorporated together.

Mix the butter and vanilla until smooth.
Gradually add the honey while mixing.
Whip mixture for at least one minute. If it looks like the honey is separating, continue to whip for another minute or so until the honey butter is smooth.
I thought raw egg yolk was a no no ? Is it necessary for the recipe or could you leave it out?
You can leave it out if it makes you nervous!
I have my own chickens so I know where my eggs come from and what goes into them so its no problem eating raw eggs. Its really nice not to have to worry about getting sick, I can really enjoy cookie dough!!!!!
