Steps

Method 1 of 4: Honey Butter


  1. Start with high-quality honey and butter. Since honey butter is made with very few ingredients, make sure each one is fresh and of good quality. You can find local honey at the farmers market. Taste the honey before using it to make butter, as the honey is too strong and can drown out the butter.
    • Raw honey is the best alternative to pasteurized honey. It has a bold, rustic taste and a more lumpy texture.
    • Choose salty butter or unsalted butter. If you are using salty butter, you may not need to add salt when making butter.

  2. Leave butter at room temperature. Remove the butter from the refrigerator one hour before mixing the honey butter mixture. This will give the avocado time to soften and make it easier to handle.
    • Do not use melted butter to make honey butter. Make sure the butter is still firm but can still spread. If the butter melts, it can break down, giving the finished butter a quirky texture.
    • To bring avocados to room temperature quickly, place them in a warm, sunny window. You can also put the butter on the stove when you cook another dish - maybe a batch of crackers that you plan to have with honey butter.

  3. Use a blender to mix the ingredients. When the butter is soft enough to use, add butter, honey and a pinch of salt to a bowl. Blend mixture at high speed until it is cotton, porous and light yellow.
    • You can grind ingredients using a whisk on a powered blender, or with a hand-held egg whisk. The machine-mounted egg whisk will make the honey butter more spongy. You can use a portable egg beater, but it will take longer.
  4. Refrigerate the honey butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to freeze for about 1 hour or until you want to serve. Honey butter can be stored for 2 weeks.
  5. Put the honey butter in a small, eye-catching bowl. To make the butter more attractive, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon over the butter. Add the butter knife to use.
  6. Use honey butter on your favorite bread or rolls. Honey butter goes well with muffins and scones. Serve with corn bread is also delicious. Some people even like to scoop out butter. advertisement

Method 2 of 4: Spicy Honey Butter

  1. Leave butter at room temperature. Place butter on the counter for an hour or more, until it's soft enough to spread.
  2. Add honey, vanilla and spices. Pour ¼ cup of your favorite honey. Add cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg to the mixture, then add the vanilla extract.
  3. Beat the butter well with the electric blender. Use medium to high speed until the honey butter becomes fluffy and spongy, with visible seeds of cinnamon powder. If you are using a hand whisk, you will need to beat for at least 10 minutes to achieve the required consistency.
  4. Tasting honey butter. Is it spicy enough? Add vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg or ginger to taste, beat until all ingredients are mixed. Besides the above spices, consider giving the spices below:
    • Cloves are ground
    • Lavender ground
    • Almond flavoring agent
    • Pistachio flavoring agent
  5. Refrigerate the honey butter. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to freeze for about 1 hour or until you want to serve. Spicy honey butter is ideal for spicy cakes, such as fruit sponge cake, cross cake, fruit cake. advertisement

Method 3 of 4: Strawberry Honey Butter

  1. Wash and remove the strawberry stalk. Select each fruit and remove any that are dull or dull.
  2. Strawberry grind. Put the strawberries in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then put the crushed strawberries through the sieve to filter. Retain the strawberry juice and remove the residue. This will make the honey butter texture softer. If you use the strawberry pulp, the butter will get lumpy.
  3. Cook the mashed strawberry. Put the mashed strawberries in a saucepan and add both honey and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a low heat. Stir the mixture continuously for about 3 minutes, or until thick.
  4. Turn off the stove. Let the mashed strawberries cool naturally. Taste and add a little salt if you are using unsalted butter to make honey butter.
  5. Mix the mashed strawberry with butter. Place them in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. You can either use your hand or a mill.
  6. Let the mixture soak for about 1 hour. This allows the strawberry flavor to evenly penetrate the butter.
  7. Put it on plate. If not to use immediately, put in an airtight container and then refrigerate. Use within 3 days. advertisement

Method 4 of 4: Microwave Honey Butter

This is a very simple homemade honey butter dish.

  1. Put 1 tablespoon of butter and 3 tablespoons of honey in a microwave bowl.
  2. Put the bowl in the microwave. Cook for 10 to 20 seconds, long enough for the butter to melt and foam for about 1 to 2 seconds.
    • Don't set the temperature too high, as the butter will melt and won't freeze. The temperature should be just enough for the butter to melt as if it were heated.
  3. Don't let the honey butter mixture cool. Use a knife to start mixing and whisking quickly, making the honey and butter blend together.
    • If the mixture becomes loose, add 1 tablespoon of honey and continue mixing each time more honey until a caramel consistency is achieved.
    • Don't rush into adding more honey as it can make the butter too sweet.
  4. Continue mixing until it turns a golden orange. The mixture should be thick and cohesive.
    • You may want to add cinnamon to taste, depending on your preference.
  5. Use warm honey butter on toast or to top with avocado sponge cake. You can also use it as a spread on pastries or pancakes. Enjoy at any time, tea time, breakfast with family or friends.
    • You can make the honey butter thicker by refrigerating it.

Advice

  • You can adjust the amount of honey and other ingredients in the honey butter dish to suit your taste.
  • Small jars of honey butter are great for Christmas presents. Just add the honey butter to the decorative little jars and add the ribbons and attachments.
  • Use ingredients at room temperature.
  • Salted butter is a better choice than unsalted butter.
  • Try to use pure honey.
  • Mix the honey and butter until the mixture is slightly warm.
  • Always try to use less butter and more honey because butter is very loose when it flows.

Warning

  • Do not microwave butter. This will damage the honey butter structure.
