Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup honey (preferably wildflower or clover)

2 teaspoons chipotle powder (adjust for spice preference)

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Zest of 1 lime

Fresh lime juice (1 teaspoon, optional for tanginess)

Instructions
 

Soften the Butter:

    - Begin by allowing the unsalted butter to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it is thoroughly softened and easily spreadable.

      Mix Ingredients:

        - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and lime zest. If you prefer a hint of tanginess, add lime juice to the mixture.

          Whip It Up:

            - Using an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula, beat the mixture on medium speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the butter is creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

              Taste and Adjust:

                - Taste your smoky chipotle honey butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more chipotle powder for heat or more honey for sweetness based on your personal preference.

                  Chill and Set:

                    - Transfer the butter mixture to an airtight container or shape it into a log using parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the butter to firm up.

                      Serve:

                        - Your smoky chipotle honey butter is now ready to spread! Use it to slather on freshly baked bread, warm cornbread, or even pancakes for a delightful twist. It's also perfect on grilled meats and veggies or for adding a unique flavor to popcorn.

                          Store:

                            - Store any leftover honey butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
