Ingredients

• 227 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Fine sea salt
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Allow the unsalted butter to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until it is pliable and easy to mix.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, honey, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, fine sea salt, and lemon zest.

Step 3

Using a silicone spatula or an electric mixer on low speed, beat the ingredients together until fully combined and the butter becomes fluffy.

Step 4

Taste the butter and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding an extra pinch of salt or cayenne pepper for more flavor.

Step 5

Transfer the butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and twist the ends to seal the shape.

Step 6

Refrigerate the butter for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm up.

Step 7

Before serving, let the butter soften slightly at room temperature for easy spreading. Serve with bread, roasted vegetables, or grilled meats.
