Homemade Strawberry Butter

Updated 8/9/16

I love flavored butters.  That cinnamon butter from Texas Roadhouse, the Strawberry butter from Patti's.... they are the highlights when I eat at those restaurants!  This recipe for strawberry butter is super simple!  If you're a bread lover like myself, you'll enjoy this!  It's just a couple ingredients + a few minutes!
(Warm sourdough bread and strawberry butter!)

You'll need:
2 sticks of butter at room temp (I usually use salted, but unsalted is great too)
4-5 fresh strawberries
1 C powdered sugar
1/8 heaping C honey

In a mixer, beat the butter 2-3 minutes until really light and fluffy.  While the butter is mixing, wash and mash your strawberries.  Next, mix in the powdered sugar and beat for 1 minute.  Add the mashed strawberries to the butter and mix another 2 minutes.  The butter turns the prettiest shade of pink :)  Last, add the honey and let it mix 2 more minutes.
I used this wooden tool from Pampered Chef, but you could use anything!

A pretty pink, whipped butter!
We keep ours refrigerated, but it's best when softened!  I'm thinking I may make some end of the year teachers gifts of homemade bread and flavored butter! 
(p.s.  If you don't have a stand mixer and don't have the patience to mix that long with a hand held mixer, you can cut the mix times down and just mix until incorporated.  The most important one is the first step of whipping the butter!)

  1. Looks delicious! I have never made flavored butter but I did buy cinnamon butter at the store once. It's soooo good so I've got to give your recipe a try and also try making my own bread someday. I'm starving now
