This sweet, fluffy butter is an easy way to elevate everything from warm muffins and flaky scones to simple toast or even a frozen waffle. Fresh orange zest brightens every bite, while floral clover honey, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt create the perfect balance of sweet, citrusy, and rich flavors. It comes together in just a few minutes but tastes like something special — and once you make it, you'll want to spread it on just about everything.
