Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/3 cup pure honey

1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Optional: extra honey for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vanilla Bean: If using a vanilla bean, slice it down the middle lengthwise with a sharp knife and scrape out the tiny seeds using the back of the knife.

    Cream the Butter: In a medium bowl, add the softened butter. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the butter until it’s light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.

      Add Honey and Vanilla: Gradually mix in the honey and the scraped vanilla seeds. If you chose to use vanilla extract, add it at this stage. Continue to beat until well combined.

        Incorporate Sea Salt: Sprinkle in the sea salt and give the mixture a final mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, ensuring that the honey and vanilla are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

          Taste and Adjust: Give your butter a taste. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to add a bit more honey for your desired flavor.

            Transfer and Store: Spoon the vanilla bean honey butter into an airtight jar or container. You can optionally drizzle a little extra honey on top for a beautiful presentation. Seal tightly and refrigerate.

              Serve: Let the butter soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delightful spread on warm toast, muffins, pancakes, or even as a topping for fresh fruit!
