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 Butter: Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to ensure easy mixing. This will help the ingredients blend smoothly and achieve the right consistency.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if desired.
- Mix Until Fluffy: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat the mixture until it is well combined and fluffy. This aerates the butter and blends all flavors together evenly.
- Scrape and Stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl, then give the butter a quick stir to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Store or Serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving bowl or ramekin for immediate use. Leftover butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Re-Soften Before Serving: When ready to use stored cinnamon butter, let it soften at room temperature to regain its spreadable texture.
Notes
- Store cinnamon butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Before serving refrigerated butter, let it soften to room temperature for easier spreading.
- Use as a spread on toast, muffins, pancakes, waffles, or even add a spoonful to oatmeal or desserts.
- Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of powdered sugar or honey according to taste.
