Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) Unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pinch of salt

Preparing the Butter

Ensure the butter is properly softened. You want it to be pliable but not melted. You can soften butter at room temperature (takes about 30-60 minutes) or in the microwave using short, 5-second bursts.

Mixing the Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and salt. Use a fork or an electric mixer to beat the ingredients together until they are light and fluffy. Make sure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Serving and Storage

Serve the cinnamon honey butter immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Let the butter soften slightly before serving. It's delicious on pancakes, waffles, toast, biscuits, or muffins.
