Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 226g unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup 85g honey
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt optional
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Airtight storage container

Method
 

  1. Soften the Butter: Allow the butter to sit at room temperature until soft and easy to mix. Avoid melting it completely.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place the softened butter in a mixing bowl. Add the honey, cinnamon, salt (if using), and vanilla extract (if using).
  3. Whip Until Fluffy: Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until light, fluffy, and fully combined.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the butter and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon level according to your preference.
  5. Serve or Store: Serve immediately on warm bread, biscuits, pancakes, waffles, muffins, or dinner rolls. Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate.

Notes

  • Use high-quality butter for the richest flavor.
  • Raw honey provides a deeper, more natural sweetness.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the cinnamon to 2½ teaspoons.
  • If the butter becomes too firm after refrigeration, let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • This butter stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
  • Delicious on toast, cornbread, sweet potatoes, bagels, croissants, and homemade rolls.
  • For a holiday version, add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.
