Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional, if using unsalted butter)
Instructions
- Soften the butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure easy mixing and a smooth, creamy texture for the cinnamon butter.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
- Mix thoroughly: Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer to beat the ingredients together until well combined and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. This helps incorporate air and blends the flavors perfectly.
- Scrape and stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and give the mixture a quick stir to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Store or serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter into a bowl or ramekin and serve immediately as a spread. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Before serving refrigerated butter again, soften it to room temperature for easy spreading.
Notes
- To Store: Place the cinnamon butter in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
- Before serving after refrigeration, allow the butter to soften at room temperature to ensure it spreads easily.
- This butter is perfect for toast, pancakes, muffins, or waffles.
- Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt level; add a pinch as desired.
