Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
Place the softened butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a large bowl with a hand mixer.
Beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the honey, vanilla extract, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the bowl.
Mix on low speed until the ingredients are just combined, then increase the speed to medium-high.
Whip the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the honey butter is light, airy, and fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Serve immediately, or transfer the whipped honey butter to an airtight container and chill for later use.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your butter is truly at room temperature, not melted. This helps you achieve the fluffy, whipped consistency.
If you plan to use this as an edible gift, spoon the finished butter into small jars and tie a ribbon around the lid.
To make this a make ahead butter recipe, store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let it sit out for 15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
