Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to cream the butter until it is smooth and fluffy.
- Next, pour in the 1/4 cup of honey. This will add sweetness and a lovely texture to your butter. Mix well until the honey is fully incorporated into the butter.
- Now, add the 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture. Cinnamon will provide a warm, aromatic flavor that complements the honey and butter beautifully. Stir until the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
- Once all the ingredients are well combined, taste the butter. If you prefer a sweeter or spicier flavor, feel free to adjust the honey or cinnamon to your liking.
- Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to a serving dish or a jar. You can use a spatula to smooth the top for an appealing presentation.
- For the best flavor, let the butter sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Serve your homemade cinnamon honey butter with fresh bread, muffins, or pancakes. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality, pure honey and fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor.
- Mixing Technique: Use a hand mixer or whisk to incorporate ingredients thoroughly and create a light, fluffy consistency.
- Customization: Feel free to adjust honey and cinnamon ratios to suit your personal taste preferences.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for the best spreadability.
- Serving Suggestion: This butter is perfect not just for bread, but also as a delightful topping for pancakes, waffles, and even as a sweet spread for scones.
