Add the butter to your mixing bowl. Once your butter has been softened to room temperature add it to your mixing bowl. Beat the butter on medium-high speed for about 1 minute. 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113 g) unsalted butter
Stir in the honey and salt. Add in the honey and salt and mix for one more minute until it's all incorporated. Adjust the sweetness as needed (if you want it less sweet add the honey one tablespoon at a time, and taste as you go.) 1/4 cup (84 g) honey 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Transfer to a jar/container. Store the honey butter in a jar or container that has a lid and you can store it in the fridge, or keep at room temperature, covered a few days.

Storage/make ahead: This will last for months in your fridge (just depending on the age of your butter when you bought it). When ready to use, you may need to let it soften again to room temperature and give it a stir again so it has the same consistency.
Freezing: You can freeze honey butter for up to 3 months in a freezer safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using. You may need to re-whip or mix it again to get the same consistency before using.
No mixer: Just make sure your butter is very, very soft (but not melted) before you begin. And then stir in the honey and salt. It won't have quite the same consistency but I've made it before this way and it's delicious!
Salt: If using salted butter then you can omit it, or taste it and see what you think if it needs a pinch of salt or not. The salt does help to prevent bacterial growth and will keep fresher in the fridge much longer, and adds lots of taste so I say don't skip it!
Soften the butter quickly: Use your microwave to soften the butter the fastest. If you're impatient like me, then soften it quickly in your microwave. Just make sure to do in 30 second intervals at 20% power otherwise you'll melt it!
