Let the Butter Soften Naturally: Take your unsalted butter out of the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 to 40 minutes. It should be soft enough to press a finger into easily, but not melted. This helps the butter whip smoothly and evenly later.
Cream the Butter, Sugar, and Salt: Place the softened butter in a large mixing bowl along with the sugar and salt. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat everything together on medium speed for 8 to 10 minutes. You'll notice the mixture becoming lighter in color, smoother in texture, and fluffier—precisely what you want.
Slowly blend in the Honey: With your mixer still running, gradually pour the honey into the whipped butter mixture. This slow addition keeps the texture light and prevents separation. Keep mixing until everything is fully combined and the butter looks creamy, silky, and slightly glossy.
Chill for Better Texture (Optional): If you prefer a firmer consistency or want to pipe the butter for a nice presentation, place it in the fridge for 10–15 minutes. Chilling helps the butter hold its shape and makes spreading easier, especially on warm foods.
