Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (at room temperature)

1/4 cup honey

2-3 teaspoons chipotle powder (adjust based on spice preference)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1-2 teaspoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)

Optional: 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro for a fresh kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butter:

    - In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Using a hand mixer or spatula, cream the butter until it's smooth and fluffy.

      Incorporate the Honey:

        - Gradually pour in the honey while continuing to mix. Ensure that the honey is fully incorporated into the butter to achieve a smooth mixture.

          Add the Spices:

            - Sprinkle in the chipotle powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix well until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the butter.

              Adjust the Flavor:

                - Squeeze in the lime juice, starting with a teaspoon, and fold it into the mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice as desired. If you like a fresh herby note, mix in the chopped cilantro at this point.

                  Chill and Serve:

                    - Transfer the smoky chipotle honey butter into a serving dish or an airtight container. For best results, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

                      Enjoy:

                        - Spread generously on toasted bread, muffins, biscuits, or use it as a vibrant topping for grilled meats, veggies, or even pancakes! The smoky, sweet, and spicy profile elevates any dish.
