Cinnamon Butter
Description
The Cinnamon Butter recipe calls for room-temperature unsalted butter beaten together with powdered sugar for sweetness, honey for moisture and flavor, and ground cinnamon for warm spice. The butter should be softened naturally at room temperature to maintain the right consistency without melting. Mixing with an electric mixer produces a smooth and creamy texture that is easy to spread. This cinnamon-infused butter enriches breads and baked goods with a balanced sweetness and subtle spice note without overpowering.
It can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to five days. When stored chilled or frozen, it requires time to soften before serving. Microwave melting is not recommended as it disrupts texture, turning it runny. Proper storage maintains the cinnamon butter's freshness and spreadability for multiple uses.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1½ tablespoons honey
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- It is vital that the butter is very soft. Do not soften it in the microwave, instead allow it to sit out on the counter for about an hour.
- Using an electric mixer to beat all the ingredient together until creamy and smooth,
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Let butter soften naturally at room temperature about an hour; avoid microwave softening.
- Store cinnamon butter at room temperature up to 3 days; refrigerate up to 1 month for longer use.
- Freeze cinnamon butter up to 6 months; thaw and soften naturally before serving.
- Do not microwave to soften as it may cause melting and separation.
