Honey butter is a sweet butter. It is eaten spread over various types of bread. You can buy honey oil from the store, or you can make it yourself with just a few ingredients. Follow these steps to make a honey butter that suits your taste.

Steps

1. 1 Buy butter and honey at your local store or market. You can use plain or unsalted butter. Margarine is also fine if you prefer margarine. Honey can sometimes be bought from local people who keep bees. Buy your favorite honey.
2. 2 Remove the oil from the refrigerator to soften at room temperature. This takes approximately 1 - 2 hours.
3. 3 Attach the whisk attachment to the mixer. If you don't have one, a regular attachment will do. Use it to fluff up the oil. You can use a hand-held whisk to whisk, but it will take longer.
4. 4 Place 1/2 cup (120 ml) softened butter in a mixing bowl.
5. 5 Whisk the butter well with an electric mixer using a medium to high speed.
6. 6 Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of your favorite honey.
7. 7 Whisk the butter and honey for about 1 minute. Clean the sides of the container with a rubber spatula.
8. 8 Add other ingredients to your liking. Most recipes only list butter and honey, but other ingredients can be added. You can add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon. Some people prefer to add 1/2 cup (120 ml) powdered sugar. You can also add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract. You can add all of these additional ingredients or choose whichever one you like.
9. 9 Store honey butter in a small glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Keep the oil in the refrigerator.
10. 10 Serve the honey oil in a small rosette. To make it look more attractive, sprinkle it with a little cinnamon. Bring the butter knife to the table.
11. 11 Serve honey butter with your favorite bread or rolls. Honey butter goes well with buns and rich breads. It goes well with cornbread. Some people just like to eat honey oil with a spoon.

Tips

• You can reduce the amount of honey and other ingredients when making honey oil to suit your taste. Some like more honey, others less.
• Small jars of honey oil make a great Christmas present. Place the honey butter in a small decorative jar and tie it with a nice gift ribbon.

Warnings

• Do not soften butter in the microwave. This will destroy the texture of the honey oil.
