Do you have room for some honey butter on your holiday table?<\/strong> Let’s make some! Honey butter is creamy and utterly irresistible. It’s sweet and a little bit salty, which always sends me back for more. It looks dazzling on the table, and it makes everyone’s eyes light up.<\/p>\n In fact, honey butter is so easy to make that you can whip it up for a special dinner any time of year. Start with softened butter and it’s ready in five minutes or less.<\/p>\n This recipe tastes extra-special thanks to a little sprinkle of cinnamon. Finish it with a little drizzle of honey and a light sprinkle of salt for bonus points in flavor and visual appeal.<\/p>\n I’m telling you, if you’re looking for a last-minute holiday meal menu item, definitely bring honey butter. It’s not a cop-out contribution; it’s a revelation!<\/p>\n Honey butter is super simple to make. You’ll find the recipe below, but here are some quick tips before you get started.<\/p>\n Start with softened butter and your honey butter will be ready in 5 minutes! Softened butter is key to your honey butter’s success because hard butter won’t blend and melted butter won’t whip. Leave a stick of butter on the counter to warm up to room temperature for a half hour or longer.<\/p>\n If you need your cold butter softened now,<\/em> take advantage of your microwave—place a stick of butter, still in its wrapper, on a plate. Microwave for 10 seconds, turn it over, microwave another 10 seconds. Repeat if necessary, turning each time, just until your thumb leaves an impression on the butter. Then it’s ready! (I wouldn’t suggest this method for a baked good, but honey butter is forgiving enough.)<\/p>\n This recipe is designed for unsalted butter. If you have salted butter, no problem, just don’t whip additional salt into the butter. Finishing the honey butter with a light sprinkle of salt is still a good idea.<\/p>\n Honey butter makes these treats taste extra special:<\/p>\n You can also serve sweet roasted vegetables with a dollop of honey butter, like acorn squash<\/a>, carrots<\/a> and sweet potatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you love honey butter like I do (and who doesn’t, really?), try these recipes on Cookie and Kate:<\/p>\n![\"honey](\"https:\/\/cookieandkate.com\/images\/2022\/04\/honey-butter-ingredients.jpg\")
