Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (170 grams) honey
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for optimal smoothness and easy blending.
- Whip softened butter in a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly drizzle honey into the whipped butter, continuously mixing to create a uniform, silky texture.
- Sprinkle ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt into the mixture, folding gently to distribute the warm, aromatic spices evenly.
- Taste the honey butter and fine-tune the flavor profile by adding more honey for sweetness or cinnamon for depth.
- Scoop the infused butter into a clean, sealed glass container, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 60 minutes to allow flavors to meld and butter to firm up.
- Remove from refrigerator 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly, making it spreadable on warm toast, biscuits, or pancakes.
Notes
- Achieve the creamiest texture by ensuring butter is at room temperature before whipping.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like wildflower or clover to create unique flavor profiles.
- For a vegan version, swap dairy butter with coconut or plant-based alternative spreads.
- Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top or add a pinch of nutmeg for enhanced warmth and complexity.
