Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
Instructions
- Whip the cream: Using a mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium to high speed for 5-10 minutes until the butter separates from the buttermilk and you see solid butter forming.
- Drain and flavor: Carefully drain off the liquid buttermilk, then stir the softened butter with the honey and salt until evenly combined.
- Add lavender: Gently crush the dried lavender flowers with your hands to release their aroma and fold them into the honey butter mixture.
- Chill and serve: Optionally refrigerate the honey lavender butter for 10 minutes to firm up the texture before serving it spread on bread or your favorite baked goods.
Notes
- Use chilled heavy cream for best whipping results.
- Ensure to crush the lavender flowers gently to avoid a bitter taste.
- The buttermilk drained can be saved for baking or cooking.
- Refrigeration is optional but helps the butter firm up for easier spreading.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer it sweeter.
