Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup raw or regular honey

Equipment

  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rubber spatula for scraping
  • Small airtight container for storage

Method
 

  1. Cut the unsalted butter into chunks roughly one inch in size and place them in your mixing bowl.
  2. Press your finger gently into the butter to ensure it has reached room temperature and leaves an indent that doesn't immediately spring back.
  3. Attach your mixer's whip attachment and set the speed to medium-high, or use a whisk if doing this by hand. Start whipping immediately and whip for about two minutes until the butter transforms into a creamy mass.
  4. Pour the honey in slowly while the mixer is running at medium speed to ensure even distribution.
  5. Once the honey is mostly combined, increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip for another two to three minutes until the mixture becomes noticeably lighter in color and fluffier in texture.
  6. Stop the mixer and check for a whipped consistency that holds soft peaks when you pull the beaters up. If still grainy or dense, whip for another minute and test again.
  7. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl, folding any unwhipped bits into the mixture to ensure even consistency.
  8. Spoon the whipped honey butter into an airtight container and smooth the top with a spatula. Cover tightly and refrigerate immediately.

Notes

Whip the butter for a full three to four minutes even if it looks done at two minutes; this extra whipping time creates the signature cloud-like texture. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to three months.
