Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and allow it to soften at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to easily mix but not melted.
- Place the softened butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the butter until it becomes smooth and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Add the honey to the softened butter and continue mixing until the honey is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and salt over the butter mixture. Gently fold or mix the ingredients until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
- Using a rubber spatula, transfer the cinnamon honey butter into a clean, airtight storage container or serving dish.
- If not serving immediately, cover the container and refrigerate. Allow the butter to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- Serve the cinnamon honey butter with warm toast, fresh bread, biscuits, or as a delightful spread for breakfast or brunch.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. This creates the perfect creamy texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Beat the butter until it's smooth and creamy to prevent any lumps in your final spread.
- Fold Gently: When adding cinnamon and salt, fold carefully to ensure even distribution without overworking the mixture.
- Storage Matters: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 1-2 weeks.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect spreadable consistency.
- Customization Tip: Experiment with different honey varieties like wildflower or clover for subtle flavor variations.
- Presentation Hack: Serve in a small decorative dish with a butter knife for an elegant touch at brunch or breakfast gatherings.
