Ingredients

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • ¼ cup hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey)
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Butter: Add softened butter to a small mixing bowl, ensuring it is at room temperature for easy whipping.
  2. Add Cream and Honey: Pour in the heavy whipping cream and hot honey into the bowl with the butter.
  3. Whip Mixture: Using a hand mixer, whip the mixture until the honey butter is well combined, light, and fluffy in texture.
  4. Season with Red Pepper Flakes: Stir in red pepper flakes starting with a small amount, then adjust according to your desired spice level.

Notes

  • For a milder flavor, omit the red pepper flakes.
  • Use room temperature butter for best whipping results.
  • This butter is excellent served on warm bread, biscuits, or drizzled over roasted vegetables.
  • Store leftover honey butter refrigerated in an airtight container and bring to room temperature before serving.
