Description
This easy homemade cinnamon honey butter recipe adds gorgeous flavor to biscuits, rolls, toast, sweet potatoes & more!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp/4 oz.) butter, softened*
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoon honey
- 1/2–1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch kosher salt, as needed
Instructions
- Add softened butter to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer for 2 minutes, until the butter is lighter in color and fluffier. (Pause to scrape down the bowl a few times, as needed)
- Scrape down the edges of the bowl and add powdered sugar, honey, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and vanilla. (If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt as well.)
- Whip the butter another 2-3 minutes, until it’s lightened in color, and it’s smooth and creamy. Taste and add more cinnamon as desired. Smooth and stir through with a spatula to make sure everything is evenly combined.
- Transfer whipped cinnamon butter to a jar with a lid to store at room temperature 3-4 days.
- For a pretty presentation, you can add the butter to a piping bag fitted with a piping tip (like a Wilton 2D or 1M star tip) and pipe it into a bowl.
- Store cinnamon butter at room temperature in an airtight jar or container 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator up to 1 week. Let chilled cinnamon butter soften at room temperature to use it.
Notes
*You want the butter to be softened–cool to the touch, but your finger can create an indent when you press down. You don’t want it hard (no indent) or too warm and overly soft (it shouldn’t look shiny or greasy + your finger should not sink in easily). Aim for softened! Vegan butter, margarine, or dairy-free butter will not work for this recipe.
