Instructions
- Beat the softened butter on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until it looks pale and airy. The butter should spread easily and show fine ridges from the beater.
- Add the honey, vanilla, and salt. Beat for another minute, scraping the bowl once, until completely blended. Beat in the ground cinnamon until evenly dispersed. The spread should look uniform with no streaks of honey.
- Spoon the butter into a covered container and refrigerate until needed. For the best spreading texture, let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Vanilla bean paste swaps 1:1 for the extract and adds visible vanilla seeds; for a whole bean, use the seeds of 1 bean in place of 2 teaspoons of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
