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: Ensure the unsalted butter is at room temperature to allow for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- 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 Together: Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, beat all the ingredients until the mixture is well combined and fluffy.
- Scrape and Stir: Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate any stuck ingredients, then give the butter a final quick stir.
- Store or Serve: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a bowl or ramekin. Serve immediately as a spread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Refrigeration and Serving: Leftover cinnamon butter can be chilled in an airtight container for up to one week. Before serving again, allow it to soften at room temperature for easy spreading.
Notes
- To Store: Keep the cinnamon butter in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Before serving from the fridge, let the butter soften at room temperature to ensure it spreads easily.
- This spread pairs delightfully with toast, pancakes, muffins, or any baked goods where you want a hint of cinnamon sweetness.
