Homemade Honey Butter
You might think making homemade Honey Butter is complicated, but it couldn’t be easier to do. Whip everything together in a stand mixer and it can be ready in about 10 minutes or less.
It makes for such a fun and fancy accompaniment to your dinner table; especially for Easter, which is right around the corner! Serve this homemade Honey Butter with some drop biscuits and you might not need to make much else.
Honey Butter Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: Controls saltiness; omit added salt if using salted butter.
- Honey: Provides sweetness and flavor.
- Powdered Sugar: Adds sweetness and creaminess.
- Vanilla Extract: Optional but enhances flavor.
- Cinnamon: Adds a nice flavor; adjust to preference or try pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice for a fun flavor twist.
- Salt: Balances & enhances flavors.
QUICK TIP
Make sure the butter is at room temperaturefor optimal mixing. If melted, it won’t mix well; if too cold or hard, the same applies.
How To Make Honey Butter
- Combine softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, vanilla extract (if using), cinnamon, and sea salt in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment on low speed until mixed.
- Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Serve immediately in a dish, optionally drizzle with more honey, or refrigerate for later use..

Recipe Notes
Note 1: Softened butter should be slightly cool to the touch and hold its shape when poked. Cut into cubes and let sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to 1 hour to soften quickly. For a faster method, microwave for 8 seconds, flip, then microwave for another 8 seconds. Be cautious and watch carefully to prevent melting.

I have never heard of Danish Creamery and I can find the butter in my local store. You are right in saying that it is great butter. When I lived and worked in Denmark for nearly 30 years, I fell in love with the Danish dairy products and out of this world pastries and bread, among so many others things. The Danish butter far surpasses anything we have here commercially. Thank you for making me aware of Danish Creamery.
