Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Remove the unsalted butter from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to easily press with a fork but not melted.
- In a large mixing bowl, place the softened butter and ensure it has a creamy, spreadable consistency.
- Add the honey to the softened butter, measuring carefully to maintain the precise 1/4 cup ratio.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the butter and honey mixture.
- Pour in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor profile of the butter.
- Using an electric mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the ingredients on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and fully incorporated.
- Stop the mixer occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Once the butter is whipped to a smooth and creamy consistency, transfer it to a clean storage container or serving dish.
- For best texture and flavor, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to allow the ingredients to meld together.
- Serve at room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted. The ideal consistency allows easy fork pressing without being greasy.
- Use High-Quality Ingredients: Choose pure, local honey and fresh ground cinnamon for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Whipping Technique: Beat the mixture thoroughly, stopping to scrape down bowl sides, to achieve that light, fluffy texture.
- Chilling Matters: The 30-minute refrigeration isn't optional - it allows flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly.
- Serving Suggestion: Let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving for the most spreadable consistency.
- Storage Hack: Use an airtight container and it will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.
