Room temperature butter is key! It should give slightly when pressed but not be melted.
Use pure, high-quality honey for the best flavor. Clover honey works perfectly.
Don't overmix! Stop as soon as ingredients are combined for the fluffiest texture.
Keeps in fridge for 1 week. Let come to room temp before serving for best spreadability.
Remove butter from refrigerator and let it soften to room temperature (about 30 minutes). The butter should be soft enough to easily press with your finger.
Pro Tip: For quick softening, cut butter into small cubes and let sit for 15 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and cinnamon until well combined and no lumps remain.
Pro Tip: Sift powdered sugar if it's lumpy for the smoothest texture.
Add softened butter to the bowl and cream with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
Pro Tip: Properly creamed butter should be pale and increased in volume.
With mixer on low speed, gradually add honey in a thin stream. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
Pro Tip: Adding honey slowly prevents the mixture from becoming too thin.
Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix on low speed until smooth and creamy.
Pro Tip: The salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors perfectly.
Transfer to a serving bowl or shape into a log using plastic wrap. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Pro Tip: For best flavor, let refrigerated butter come to room temperature before serving.
