Tips for Perfect Texture and Storage 🌟

This recipe requires minimal effort, but properly softening and storing the butter ensures the best results.

Softening the Butter

  • Room Temperature is Best: To ensure the brown sugar and cinnamon mix smoothly without lumps, your butter should be very soft. The recipe suggests microwaving the butter for 30 seconds in a microwave-safe bowl to achieve a perfect, soft consistency for mixing
  • Mix Well: Once the butter is soft, make sure to stir the brown sugar and cinnamon well until the mixture is uniform and the sugar is evenly distributed.

Creative Storage Options

  • Mason Jars: Spooning the flavored butter directly into mason jars makes it easy to store in the refrigerator and serve directly at the table.
  • Butter Log: If you prefer the look of a traditional stick of butter, you can roll the mixture in parchment paper to form a log. Once firmed up in the fridge, it can be sliced into rounds for elegant serving.

Serving Ideas: Think Beyond Toast 🍞🍠

While brown sugar cinnamon butter is a perfect complement to breakfast items, don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and use it in creative savory ways.

  • Classic Carbs: Slather it generously on toast, biscuits, croissants, bagels, or dinner rolls.
  • Sweet Potatoes: Use it to add some extra sweetness and warmth to a baked sweet potato—it’s a decadent, simple topping.
  • Roasted Vegetables: Let it melt over warm roasted carrots or squash for an unexpected, caramelized flavor boost.
  • Pancakes & Waffles: Add a small dollop to the top of warm pancakes or waffles right before serving.
