A small clear glass jar filled with light brown, smooth, creamy spread, slightly swirled on the top, with a metal lid resting gently on the side of the jar. Behind the jar, blurred but visible, are slices of dark brown bread on a white plate, with a whole loaf of the same bread in soft focus further back. On the side, a silver spreading knife lies on a gray surface next to a blue and white striped cloth. The whole setup is on a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1/4 cup honey (not creamed)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, beat the butter, honey, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Add a pinch of salt, then continue beating until smooth. Taste the butter and adjust the salt, honey, or cinnamon to your preference.
Step 3: Serve the cinnamon butter spread with bread, muffins, or other baked goods for a sweet and flavorful boost.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of regular softened butter.
Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the sweetness.
Try using maple syrup in place of honey for a different twist.
Mix in chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

Storage

Store cinnamon butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Before serving, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften. You can also freeze it for longer storage; thaw overnight in the fridge before use.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

It’s best to use unsalted butter so you can control the saltiness. If using salted butter, reduce or omit the additional salt in the recipe.

Is powdered sugar necessary?

Powdered sugar helps create a smooth texture and adds sweetness without graininess. Granulated sugar can be used but may result in a slightly gritty spread.
