Homemade Honey Butter Recipe Ingredients
Honey: I use Raw Honey, but you can use what you have in the pantry.
Butter: If you want your honey butter to be creamy, for best results, real butter is best. However, using margarine could change the texture & taste.
Cinnamon: You can adjust it to your liking if you do not like it, but it gives it the best flavor.
Salt: Adjust to your liking if you are using salted butter. If you feel it needs additional salt, add a little at a time for your taste.
Vanilla Extract: It adds a splash of the flavor of vanilla.
