Ingredients

Just two perfect ingredients — but make sure they’re good ones.

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

• 3–4 tbsp Honey House Clover Honey (adjust to taste)

• Pinch of sea salt (optional but recommended)

Equipment

• Medium mixing bowl

• Hand mixer or stand mixer

• Spatula

• Airtight storage jar

Pro Tips

1. Use softened butter: Truly room-temperature butter whips light and fluffy, giving your honey butter a cloud-like texture.

2. Choose raw honey: Using raw, unfiltered Honey House Clover Honey keeps the flavor bright and natural.

3. Taste and adjust: Add more honey for sweeter butter or a pinch more salt for balance.

4. Don’t overmix: Stop when the mixture is smooth and airy — overmixing can cause it to deflate.

5. Serve warm: Let the honey butter rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for perfect spreadability.

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter with a hand mixer for 1–2 minutes until light and fluffy.

2. Add 3 tablespoons of Honey House Clover Honey and a pinch of sea salt. Beat again until fully combined and whipped, about 30–60 seconds.

3. Taste and add an additional tablespoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter spread.

4. Transfer to a sealed jar and serve immediately — or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Serving suggestion: Spread generously on warm toast, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, or fresh cornbread.

Storage Tips

• Refrigerate in an airtight jar for up to 2 weeks.

• Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

• For best spreadability, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

The mild, golden sweetness of Honey House Clover Honey makes it the perfect choice for honey butter — it enhances without overwhelming. Raw clover honey is naturally smooth, clean, and floral, giving this recipe its signature balanced sweetness.

We love using Honey House’s 100% pure, raw, American Clover Honey here because it blends effortlessly into softened butter. Since it’s unfiltered and unheated, you get all the natural enzymes, antioxidants, and straight-from-the-hive flavor. When your recipe only has two ingredients, quality truly matters.

Perfect Pairings

Serve your honey butter with:

• Warm buttermilk biscuits

• Fresh sourdough toast

• Cornbread or skillet cornbread

• Pancakes or waffles

• Sweet potato muffins or banana bread
