Outback Steakhouse Honey Butter Recipe
The Outback Steakhouse Honey Butter Recipe is creamy, sweet and perfect for spreading on warm bread or rolls. It has a rich texture with a gentle honey flavor.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Soften the Butter
- Place unsalted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Make sure it is soft but not melted. Softening allows smooth mixing and creates a creamy texture.
Add Powdered Sugar
- Sift powdered sugar into the bowl with butter. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until fully combined. Powdered sugar helps create smooth, lump-free honey butter.
Mix in Honey
- Add ¼ cup honey to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the honey blends evenly. The mixture should look glossy and smooth. Honey gives the spread its signature sweetness.
Add Vanilla and Salt
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Vanilla enhances flavor and salt balances the sweetness. Mix well until completely smooth.
Optional: Whip for Extra Creaminess
- For a lighter texture, use an electric mixer for one to two minutes. Whipping adds air and makes the honey butter fluffy. This step is optional but recommended for a soft spreadable consistency.
Transfer and Chill
- Spoon the honey butter into a small container or ramekin. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows flavors to meld and texture to firm slightly.
Serve and Enjoy
- Spread generously on warm rolls, biscuits, cornbread or toast. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for several days. This is exactly how to make Outback Steakhouse Honey Butter Recipe at home.
Notes
- Use high-quality unsalted butter for best flavor.
- Adjust honey amount to taste for sweeter or milder flavor.
- Add a dash of cinnamon for a warm, spiced variation.
- Mix in finely chopped nuts for texture.
- Whip longer for a fluffier, lighter butter.
- Store in a cool place if not refrigerating for short-term use.
