Orange Honey Butter
Orange zest and honey are blended into butter to create an incredibly flavored compound butter. Orange honey butter is perfect on cornbread, biscuits, or muffins but also makes a great edible gift.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (one stick)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest (from 1 large orange)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- In a small bowl, blend ingredients together until smooth and combined. I usually use a fork. Store in the fridge but soften before use.½ cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 to 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest, 2 tablespoons honey
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
Notes
- Refrigerate/freeze: Store orange honey butter in a small ramekin or bowl, covered with plastic wrap. It can be refrigerated for up to two weeks or frozen in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
- To serve: If the butter is frozen, allow it to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Cold butter should be softened for a half hour or so at room temperature for spreadability. Sometimes the honey and butter separate a bit; simply stir well before serving.
