Ingredients

Scale

Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Soften the Butter: Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature for easy blending. If it’s still cold, cut it into small cubes and let it sit for 10-15 minutes or microwave in 10-second bursts until softened but not melted.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spatula to blend until the mixture is light and fluffy, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  3. Taste Test: Sample the cinnamon butter and adjust the flavor to your preference by adding more powdered sugar for sweetness or additional cinnamon for a stronger spice.
  4. Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cinnamon butter to a serving dish or airtight container. It can be used immediately or refrigerated for flavors to meld, enhancing the taste.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to ensure easy mixing and creamy texture.
  • If using salted butter, omit the pinch of salt to avoid overpowering the flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the butter to maintain a rich, creamy consistency.
  • For a healthier twist, swap powdered sugar with natural sweeteners like honey or agave.
  • Store in an airtight container; refrigerate up to 1-2 weeks or freeze in portions using ice cube trays for longer storage.
