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 and smooth mixing with the other ingredients.
- 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: Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat all the ingredients together until the mixture is well combined and fluffy, which usually takes a few minutes.
- Scrape and Stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and give the cinnamon butter a quick stir to incorporate any ingredients stuck on the bowl.
- Store or Serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving bowl or ramekin to serve immediately as a spread. Leftover butter can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Re-Soften Before Use: When ready to use refrigerated cinnamon butter again, allow it to soften at room temperature to regain spreadable consistency.
Notes
- To store, place the cinnamon butter in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
- Always soften refrigerated cinnamon butter to room temperature before spreading to ensure smooth texture.
- This cinnamon butter makes a perfect topping for toast, pancakes, waffles, muffins, or biscuits.
- Adjust the honey or powdered sugar amount to taste for sweeter or less sweet spread.
