How to Make Orange Honey Butter

Zest one orange using a microplane or fine grater. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with 1/2 cup powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy.
Add 2 tablespoons of honey and the orange zest to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
For a smoother consistency, you can briefly pulse the mixture in a food processor. Alternatively, continue mixing by hand until well incorporated.
Transfer the Orange Honey Butter to a serving bowl or container. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the butter to firm slightly.
Serve chilled with your favorite warm baked goods. Enjoy!
