This honey butter recipe is so simple to make at home and once you try it, you’ll want to spread it on everything! I love it on warm drop biscuits, homemade rolls, or a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes.

Gather your ingredients: you’ll need honey, unsalted butter, and flaky salt (I like Maldon). I love the flavor of wildflower honey here, but feel free to experiment with your favorite honey.

Overview: How to Make Honey Butter

Heat honey in a microwave-safe glass bowl until warm and runny, about 30 seconds. Add cubed, softened butter to the bowl and let stand for 1 minute.

Stir with a silicone spatula until the butter is almost completely melted, then switch to a whisk and whip up the texture by hand.

Add flaky salt and whisk to combine. If you want to add cinnamon or other flavorings, add along with the flaky salt and whisk until incorporated.

You can use this sweet butter spread right away, or chill for about 15 minutes in the fridge and then whisk again for a slightly firmer texture (similar to buttercream frosting).

I like to add an extra drizzle of honey and sprinkle of salt when serving… so good!
