Step-by-Step Recipe Guide
1. Whip the Butter
Start by placing the two sticks of unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl. It’s essential that the butter is at room temperature; this ensures it whips up light and fluffy. Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat the butter until it reaches a creamy consistency. This step is crucial for achieving the smooth texture that makes this spread so irresistible.
2. Add the Powdered Sugar
Gradually add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the whipped butter. It’s important to add the sugar slowly to avoid creating a sugar cloud. Mix on a low speed until the sugar is fully incorporated. The powdered sugar not only sweetens the butter but also helps to stabilize the mixture, giving it a luxurious, smooth finish.
3. Incorporate Honey and Cinnamon
Once the butter and sugar are well blended, it’s time to add the key flavor components: honey and cinnamon. Pour in 1 cup of honey and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Continue to mix on medium speed until everything is fully combined. The honey adds a rich sweetness, while the cinnamon provides a warm, aromatic spice that elevates the butter to another level.
4. Final Whipping and Storage
To ensure all ingredients are perfectly blended, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and give the mixture one final whip. This last step ensures that your Cinnamon Honey Butter is light, airy, and perfectly smooth. Transfer the finished butter to a storage container. You can refrigerate it for longer shelf life or leave it at room temperature for easier spreading.
