Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 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 about 30-45 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to easily indent when pressed, but not melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the softened butter and use an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment to beat the butter until it becomes light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Add the honey, ground cinnamon, and salt to the whipped butter. Mix on medium speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.
- Stop the mixer occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Continue whipping the mixture for an additional 1-2 minutes until it becomes very light, airy, and has increased slightly in volume.
- Transfer the whipped cinnamon honey butter to a clean, airtight container or serving dish. Use immediately or refrigerate for up to one week.
- Before serving, let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften and become easily spreadable.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. The ideal consistency allows easy indentation but maintains its shape.
- Whipping Technique: Use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to incorporate maximum air, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Use high-quality, pure honey and fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container and it'll stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Pro tip: Let it sit at room temperature before serving for optimal spreadability.
- Customization Option: Experiment with different honey varieties like wildflower or clover to subtly change the butter's flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: This butter isn't just for breakfast - try it on warm dinner rolls, cornbread, or even as a topping for sweet potato!
