Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter
- ½ cup Powdered Sugar
- 6 teaspoons Honey
- ½ Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Butter: Begin by ensuring your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature. This makes it easier to mix with the other ingredients for a smooth, creamy texture.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon. If you have a stand mixer or hand mixer, use it with the paddle attachment on medium speed to mix the ingredients. Alternatively, a sturdy spoon or whisk can work if you're mixing by hand.
- Mix to Perfection: Mix the ingredients until completely combined and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes with a mixer or a bit longer by hand. The goal is to have a light and fluffy butter mixture with no lumps of sugar or butter.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the butter mixture and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon flavor according to your preference. You can add a little more powdered sugar for sweetness or a pinch more cinnamon for spice.
- Chill (Optional): For a firmer, fluffier consistency, similar to what you might find in a restaurant, you can chill the mixed butter in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. However, this step is optional based on your preference for the texture of the butter.
Notes
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
You can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Make sure it’s well-covered to maintain its flavor and freshness. With only 5 minutes of prep time, I recommend making this fresh and not freezing. But if you insist on doing so it will keep for up to 2 months.Helpful Tips & Substitutions
Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?
Yes, making this butter ahead of time is actually recommended as it allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Prepare it a day or two in advance and store in the refrigerator until needed.Substitutions & Variations
- Sugar-Free: Use a sugar-free powdered sweetener instead of powdered sugar if you’re watching your sugar intake.
- Vegan: Swap the dairy butter for a plant-based butter to make a vegan version.
- Add-Ins: Feel free to stir in some chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture, or a splash of vanilla extract for an added depth of flavor.
Helpful Cooking Notes
- To ensure the smoothest texture, really take the time to fully soften your butter. It should not feel cold to the touch.
- A pinch of salt can be added if you’re using unsalted butter and find the mix a little too sweet—it’ll balance the flavors beautifully.
