Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: breakfast
Serves: 1/4 cup
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup pancake syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Remove the softened butter from the refrigerator and place it in a medium mixing bowl, ensuring it's at room temperature for easy blending.
- Using an electric mixer or a sturdy whisk, cream the softened butter until it becomes smooth and slightly fluffy, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Measure the pancake syrup carefully, ensuring an accurate 1/4 cup measurement for balanced flavor.
- Gradually pour the pancake syrup into the creamed butter, mixing continuously to create a uniform consistency.
- Add the ground cinnamon and salt to the butter mixture, stirring thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
- Continue mixing until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the butter appears light and spreadable.
- Transfer the cinnamon butter to a clean, airtight container or ramekin.
- If not serving immediately, cover and refrigerate. Allow the butter to soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to restore its spreadable texture.
- Serve alongside warm pancakes, waffles, toast, or use as a delightful spread for breakfast breads.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the smoothest, most spreadable consistency.
- Quality Matters: Use high-quality pancake syrup and fresh ground cinnamon for the most robust flavor profile.
- Mixing Technique: Use an electric mixer for the fluffiest texture, but if using a whisk, mix vigorously to incorporate air.
- Storage Hack: This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a convenient make-ahead breakfast companion.
- Serving Suggestion: For the most luxurious experience, let the butter sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to restore its perfect spreadability.
- Customization Option: Experiment with different types of syrup like maple, honey, or even flavored syrups to create unique variations.
