New Zealand Honey Butter
Ingredients:
- 500g Butter
- 1/4 Cup New Zealand Honey
- 1/2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon or ginger
- 1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Method:
- Cut the butter into chunks and beat at low speed in an electric mixer until softened.
- Increase the speed to medium and add the rest of the ingredients.
- Beat for 5-7 minutes, or until well combined.
- Spoon the Honey Butter onto a square of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Carefully roll into a log and refrigerate for 2 hours.
- Store your New Zealand Honey Butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator, or wrap carefully in parchment paper or plastic wrap and freeze for up to six months.
If you don’t have an electric mixer, simply grate the butter into a large bowl and stir through the remaining ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined. If the mixture is too stiff, zap it in the microwave for a few seconds or stand the bowl in a sink of warm water to soften.
To Serve: spread Honey Butter over warm toast, muffins or scones.
Variations:
- Try adding finely chopped pieces of crystallized ginger to give your New Zealand Honey Butter an extra zing!
- Try adjusting the ratios of Honey to Butter! If you like it sweeter, add a dollop more honey. If you prefer a richer Honey Butter, add a little more butter.
- Did you know that each variety of honey has a unique flavor? Try using a different honey in your Honey Butter. Try a New Zealand Clover Honey for a sweet, smooth Honey Butter which everyone will love, an
Organic Honey for the health conscious, or dark and rich
New Zealand Manuka Honey for that distinctive Manuka Honey Butter Taste!
