Method
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature. This is crucial for achieving a smooth, creamy consistency without lumps. If your butter isn't soft, you can gently warm it by placing it in a bowl over warm water for a few minutes, or by cubing it and letting it sit out for about 30-60 minutes.1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and the dandelion blossom honey. For the best flavor integration, use a good quality dandelion blossom honey; its delicate floral notes are the star of this recipe.1 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup dandelion blossom honey
- Incorporate the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt into the bowl. The vanilla extract will complement the floral sweetness, while the salt will subtly enhance and balance all the flavors, preventing the butter from being overly sweet.1/2 cup dandelion blossom honey, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch salt
- Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer), begin to beat the ingredients together on medium speed. Continue mixing until the butter and honey are thoroughly combined and the mixture is light, fluffy, and a beautiful golden hue. This process should take about 3-5 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated evenly.1 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1/2 cup dandelion blossom honey, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch salt
- Once whipped, give the Dandelion Blossom Honey Butter a quick taste. If you prefer a sweeter spread, you can add a little more honey, about a tablespoon at a time, and re-whip. If you desire more of a vanilla or salty note, adjust accordingly.1/2 cup dandelion blossom honey, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, Pinch salt
