pound (2 sticks) b.u.t.ter 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons honey

Allow b.u.t.ter to soften slightly at room temperature. Using an electric mixer, whip b.u.t.ter and honey together in a bowl until well mixed.

To give the b.u.t.ter an extra flair, you can: put the mixture in a b.u.t.ter mold and allow to chill; roll b.u.t.ter up in wax paper, allow it to chill, and slice when ready to use; spread softened b.u.t.ter in a shallow pan, chill, and, when it is firm, use a miniature cookie cutter to make different shapes; run semichilled b.u.t.ter through a pastry bag, using a star tip.

You can also adapt the above to suit your needs. For example, you could add fresh strawberries, blueberries, peaches, or other fruit. Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, and oregano-as well as fresh garlic-help make wonderful herbed b.u.t.ter (for this you should omit the honey).
