Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey

2 teaspoons chipotle powder (adjust based on heat preference)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

Zest of 1 lime

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butter: In a mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.

    Mix the Ingredients: Add the honey, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, lime juice, lime zest, and cayenne pepper (if using) to the bowl.

      Combine: Using a hand mixer or a spatula, blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Make sure there are no lumps and all spices are evenly distributed.

        Taste and Adjust: Give your butter a taste. Depending on your preference, you might want to add more honey for sweetness, chipotle for smokiness, or salt to balance the flavors.

          Store: Transfer the chipotle honey butter into an airtight container or a decorative jar. Smooth out the top and cover with a lid.

            Chill: Refrigerate the butter for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also freeze it for longer storage; just let it thaw in the refrigerator before use.

              Serve: Use your Smoky Chipotle Honey Butter on everything you love! It’s perfect slathered on warm cornbread, grilled vegetables, baked potatoes, or even as a unique topping for pancakes or waffles!
