Xanthan Gum Free Honey Butter
Whipped until pale and fluffy, this honey butter is the kind of simple, luxurious spread that makes everything it touches taste better — warm biscuits, crusty bread, roasted sweet potatoes, you name it. Many flavored butters and spreads on store shelves sneak in stabilizers and thickeners you'd rather avoid, so making your own is genuinely the smarter move. This one comes together with just three ingredients: softened unsalted butter, honey, and a pinch of flaky sea salt for that perfect sweet-savory balance. The hand mixer does all the heavy lifting, whipping the butter into something light and airy before the honey gets folded in. Roll it into a log, slice off rounds as needed, or scoop it straight into a little dish for the table — either way, it looks far fancier than the effort involved. Keep a batch in the fridge and you'll find yourself reaching for it constantly.
