HONEY BUTTER
Yield: 1 Cup
Ingredients
1 Cup Butter, softened
¼ Cup Honey
Instructions
Combine the butter and honey in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Whip using the paddle attachment until smooth, but not melting.
To Shape Butter
- Butter may be packed into a small crock or bowl or piped into rosettes, about 1 tablespoon each, onto a line plate or baking sheet then refrigerated or frozen until firm.
- Butter may be also shaped into a long cylinder on top of a large sheet of plastic wrap. Mound the butter about 3 inches from the edge of the long side of the wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the mound and then tighten the wrap around the butter, forming a long log.
- Once rolled, twist the ends of the wrap to seal. Chill, then slice to serve.
- Flavored butters can be kept for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator, or can be frozen for up to 3 weeks.
