Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the softened butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a large bowl with a hand mixer.
- Beat the butter on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. This step is key for a smooth texture.
- Add the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt to the butter.
- Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are just incorporated, then increase the speed to medium-high.
- Whip the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes until the cinnamon butter is completely smooth, creamy, and light in color. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a slightly different flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar with 1/4 cup of honey to make a cinnamon honey butter variation.
- If you prefer a brown sugar cinnamon butter, replace the powdered sugar with 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar.
- To achieve the best texture, ensure your butter is truly at room temperature, not melted.
- This spread tastes best when allowed to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
