It’s pretty hard to improve on our raw honey from Hawaii, but a delicious way to enjoy it regularly is to whip up a batch of honey butter. This delicious spread can be kept in your cupboard and spread on your favorite baked goods for a tasty breakfast, snack or even lunch.
Honey butter is incredibly simple to make. All you need is:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup of Hawaii’s Local Buzz honey
Mix the two ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl until they are smooth and creamy. For this recipe, we recommend using our Creamed Lehua honey, but feel free to try any of our all-natural Hawaiian honey varieties. You might want to use an electric mixer so your hand does not get tired. Beating on medium speed for one to two minutes should be sufficient.
When your honey butter is all mixed up, transfer it to a jar and store it at room temperature — there’s no need to keep in in the fridge.
