Ingredients
- 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 enough to mix smoothly.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt.
- Whip the Mixture: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the ingredients together on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and well combined.
- Taste and Adjust: Sample the cinnamon butter and adjust the sweetness or spice according to your preference by adding more brown sugar or cinnamon if desired.
- Serve or Store: Serve the butter immediately as a spread, or transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter for better control over the flavor.
- Allow the mixture to rest for flavors to meld together more fully.
- Avoid microwaving butter to soften it as this can alter the texture negatively.
- Try variations by adding vanilla extract, chopped nuts, or maple syrup for extra flavor.
- Store the spread in the refrigerator for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
