Equipment
- Cutting Board
- Kitchen Knife
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Salted Butter Softened
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Instructions
- Start by taking your salted butter out of the refrigerator and letting it soften at room temperature. This will make it much easier to mix. You want it to be creamy but not melted.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, ground cinnamon, and honey. I love using a hand mixer for this because it creates a fluffy texture.
- Mix until everything is well combined and you achieve a light and airy consistency. You should see the cinnamon evenly distributed throughout the butter.
- Once mixed, taste your creation! You can add a bit more honey if you like it sweeter or a pinch more cinnamon for extra spice. This is your chance to customize it!
- Carefully transfer the mixture into a small serving dish. You can use a spatula to smooth the top, making it look pretty.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. This will keep it fresh in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.
- If you want to freeze your Cinnamon Honey Butter, pour it onto a piece of parchment paper, rolling it into a log shape. Seal with freezer tape, label it, and store it in the freezer.
- When you’re ready to serve, simply take it out of the fridge a few minutes beforehand to allow it to soften up a bit.
- Spread generously on your favorite baked goods, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
Notes
- Storage: Keep your Cinnamon Honey Butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Freezing: Roll into a log and wrap tightly in plastic wrap to freeze for up to three months.
- Pairing: This spread goes wonderfully with pancakes, waffles, toast, and even as a topping for oatmeal.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The flavor of this spread can greatly improve with high-quality butter and pure honey.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with spices! Adding a pinch of nutmeg or vanilla can give it a unique twist.
