Sweet, salty, and impossibly creamy, this compound butter transforms even the most ordinary slice of toast into something worth slowing down for. It comes together in just a few minutes with three simple ingredients — softened butter, honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt — so there's almost no reason not to make it. Many flavored butters and spreads on store shelves sneak in soy-based emulsifiers or additives, but this one is completely homemade and straightforward. Beating the butter until pale and fluffy before adding the honey is the small step that makes a big difference, giving it that light, whipped texture you'd expect from a fancy brunch spread. Roll it into a log, slice off rounds as needed, and watch it melt over warm biscuits, cornbread, or pancakes in the most satisfying way. It keeps well in the fridge and makes a genuinely thoughtful homemade gift too.
