Vanilla Bean Honey Butter

There’s nothing better on a hot, freshly baked scone or muffin than a dab of butter. But when you combine the sweet flavors of vanilla and honey with it, ooh . . . That’s some next-level stuff, right there. Lush, creamy European-style butter turns this simple spread into a luxurious treat.

I like to use vanilla bean paste for convenience, but if you happen to get your hands on a specialty honey with vibrant fruity or floral notes, a scraped Tahitian bean is a wonderful accompaniment
