slightly at room temperature. Using an electric mixer, whip butter and honey together in a bowl until well mixed.
To give the butter an extra flair, you can:
put the mixture in a butter mold and allow to chill;
roll butter up in wax paper, allow it to chill, and slice when ready to use;
spread softened butter in a shallow pan, chill, and, when it is firm, use a miniature cookie cutter to make different shapes;
run semichilled butter 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 butter (for this you should omit the honey).
