This sweet whipped honey butter will melt in your mouth. It’s the perfect addition to various foods, from biscuits and pancakes to fruits and more.
My grandma always made fresh rolls and honey butter, which she would serve before dinner, like Texas Roadhouse but way better. Every time we would visit her, I would get excited for that warm and cozy appetizer. Sometimes, I’d eat so much of it I could barely eat my dinner — they were that good.
Those memories have stuck with me for years. Now, I’ve got my twist on her honey butter that brings all those comforting feelings back to life — only this version is whipped until it’s light and fluffy, sweetened with raw honey and no refined sugar.
It’s the kind of spread that turns any meal into something special. It’s delicious on warm biscuits, over pancakes or just sneaking a spoonful straight from the bowl (no judgment here; I’ve done it before).
This whipped honey butter is a little nostalgic, lots indulgent and most definitely worth giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed, trust me.

Simple Ingredients, Amazing Flavor
One of the best things about this whipped honey butter is its simplicity. You don’t need anything fancy — just a few wholesome ingredients, most of which you may already have on hand. So here’s what you’re gonna need.
Ingredients:
-
½ cup of unsalted butter: Try to get organic grass-fed butter — good quality really makes a difference in taste and texture. Make sure to let your butter soften so that it whips up nice and fluffy.
-
3 tbsp of Local Raw Honey: This ingredient is the star of the show — it gives this whipped butter a perfect hint of sweetness without refined sugar.
-
¼ tsp of salt: A tiny pinch of salt can go a long way, adding a little pop of flavor to the mix — I’d recommend using a nice sea salt.
That’s it — just three super simple ingredients. This whipped honey butter proves that sometimes, simple ingredients can have a great outcome with their light, fluffy, naturally sweet and flavorful nature.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Now, I bet you’re ready to try this whipped honey butter — after all, I keep going on and on about how good it is. With these simple and easy instructions, you’ll be indulging in this delicious butter in no time. Here’s how to whip it up:
-
Start with softened butter. Cut the butter into chunks and place them in the bowl of a stand mixer. (A hand mixer works just fine, too!)
-
Add a pinch of salt and whip on medium speed until the butter is light, fluffy and pale. This usually takes three to four minutes.
-
Slowly drizzle in the honey while continuing to whip, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl so everything mixes evenly.
-
Whip until smooth and creamy, then gently fold with a spatula to give it one final swirl.
That’s it! Doesn’t it look so dreamy and decadent? Serve it right away or store it in a jar for later. I recommend spreading it on something warm and enjoying it with a cup of tea.
