Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (at room temperature)

1/2 cup honey (preferably raw or local)

1 vanilla bean (split and seeds scraped out)

1/4 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for a sweeter finish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to beat the butter until it’s light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

    Incorporate Honey: Gradually drizzle in the honey while continuing to mix. Beat for an additional 2 minutes until fully combined and fluffy.

      Add Vanilla: Scrape the seeds from the split vanilla bean into the butter-honey mixture. Make sure to add the entire contents of the vanilla bean for maximum flavor.

        Season: Add the sea salt and powdered sugar (if using) to the mixture. Beat once more until everything is well combined and smooth.

          Taste Test: Give the vanilla bean honey butter a quick taste and adjust the salt or sweetness as desired.

            Transfer to Storage Container: Spoon the honey butter into a jar or an airtight container. Smooth the top with a spatula for a nice finish.

              Chill: For best texture, chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help firm it up, making it easier to spread.

                Serve: Enjoy this delicious vanilla bean honey butter spread on warm toast, flaky biscuits, pancakes, or even use it as a sweet topping for cornbread!
