Butter: Vanilla Bean Honey Butter

Source of Recipe

From "Pure Vanilla" by Shauna Sever


Recipe Introduction

"There's nothing better on a hot, freshly baked scone or muffin than a dab of butter. But when you combine the sweet flavors of vanilla and honey with it, ooh ... that's some next-level stuff, right there. Lush, creamy European-style butter turns this simple spread into a luxurious treat. I like to use vanilla bean paste for convenience, but if you happen to get your hands on a specialty honey with vibrant fruity or floral notes, a scraped Tahitian bean is a wonderful accompaniment."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 4 ounces European-style butter (such as Plugrá), at room temperature
â—¦ 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
â—¦ 2 tablespoons honey
â—¦ â…› teaspoon salt



Recipe

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together ingredients until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides of bowl often.

Serve immediately or pack into a ramekin or small wide-mouth jar, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator.
Let honey butter soften to room temperature before serving.
