Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional, but enhances the sweetness)
Instructions
Step 1: Soften the Butter
Make sure your butter is softened at room temperature. This ensures it blends smoothly and easily with the other ingredients.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using). Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything together until smooth and fluffy. It should have a light and creamy texture.
Step 3: Taste and Adjust
Taste the butter and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you’d like it sweeter, add a little more honey. If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, add a pinch more cinnamon.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Transfer the cinnamon honey butter to a serving dish or a small jar. Serve it with warm rolls, biscuits, pancakes, or even apple slices!
Notes

- Customize the Flavor: Add a bit of nutmeg or a dash of vanilla extract for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
- Make It Ahead: This butter keeps well in the fridge for up to a week. Simply bring it to room temperature before serving.
