2 tbsp sriracha hot sauce
2 tbsp honey

Instructions

1

Make sure 1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter is fully softened so it blends evenly.

To serve, unwrap and slice into rounds. Place atop hot steaks, corn, biscuits, or cooked vegetables.

Questions

Can I make Honey Sriracha Compound Butter dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature. Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Honey Sriracha Compound Butter ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Refrigerated in a sealed jar, it keeps four to five days. Dairy sauces separate when frozen; reheat gently with a splash of milk instead of freezing.

Can I halve or double Honey Sriracha Compound Butter?

Yes. As written it serves 12. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
