- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened

- ½ teaspoon dried English lavender buds (food-grade or culinary quality)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
In a mixing bowl, whip the softened butter with an electric mixer for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Add the honey and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the lavender buds, ensuring even distribution throughout the butter.
Garnish with additional lavender flowers if desired.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Nutrition information is estimated and may vary based on ingredients used.
- Use culinary-grade lavender only. Lavender grown for crafts or fragrance is not suitable for cooking.
- A little lavender goes a long way. Start with the listed amount and adjust to taste to avoid overpowering the butter.
- For a lighter texture, whip the butter longer. For a denser, more traditional texture, mix just until combined.
- Honey is optional. You can omit it for a more savory herb butter or substitute infused honey for added flavor.
- Store herb butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
