Scale
Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Soften the Butter: Let the unsalted butter sit at room temperature for about 1 hour until it becomes soft but not melted, ensuring it blends smoothly.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt, ready for whipping.
- Whip the Mixture: Using a hand or stand mixer set to medium speed, whip the ingredients together until the blend becomes smooth, fluffy, and evenly mixed.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the butter and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon levels if desired to suit your preference.
- Serve or Store: Use immediately as a spread or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. It keeps well refrigerated for up to one month or frozen for up to three months.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better control over the flavor.
- Allowing the mixture to rest enhances the flavor blending for a more harmonious taste.
- Avoid microwaving the butter to soften it, as this can alter the texture adversely.
- Try variations by adding vanilla extract, chopped nuts, or a touch of maple syrup for different flavor profiles.
- Store refrigerated up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
