How To Make Honey Butter
This recipe is super simple to make and can be done in 3 easy steps. Don’t forget to check out the video below to see just how easy this is to make!
- Using a hand mixer, whip soften butter by itself until it’s light and fluffy
- While continuing to mix, gradually add in the vanilla and honey
- Continue to beat until you reach your desired consistency. The fluffier the better!
Recipe Tips
- The easiest way to mix the ingredients is with an electric hand mixer.
- Don’t worry if the butter appears to be grainy and separated at first. Just keep whipping until it’s smooth and creamy which will take a couple of minutes.
- If you want your butter to have the beautiful texture shown in the picture I used this large piping tip when pouring it into the jar.
- Keep the honey butter refrigerated until you’re ready to use. You can re-whip the butter if necessary.
How Long Does Honey Butter Last
Once you’ve made your honey butter it will need to be refrigerated. You can store this recipe in the refrigerator for about 5 months before you will need to throw it out. This will of course vary depending on when you originally purchased the butter you use to make it. While the honey itself will never go bad, it doesn’t have any magical powers that will extend the life of the butter if it has already been sitting in your refrigerator for 4 months.

Love your presentation of the honey butter in the glass jar. How did you pipe into the jar in ribbons? If using a piping bag what tip did you use?
Does this Recipes call for real butter, or can you use margine
Good question! I’ve only ever used butter, so I can’t really be sure margarine would work. If you try it, let me know how it works! 🙂
I made this to go with my assorted homemade rolls for Thanksgiving. I did not have any vanilla but almond extract sounded good. I just used a slash and it was fantastic!
So glad it turned out for you! That is awesome! 🙂
