Equipment

  • 1 small mixing bowl
  • 1 mixer hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment
  • 1 rubber spatula for scraping bowl
  • 1 airtight container to store honey butter in

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar also known as confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey you can adjust this to your taste
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon adjust to your taste, you can start with 1.5 tsp if you prefer less cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt optional

Instructions

  • Soften the Butter: It's crucial for your butter to be at room temperature and softened. If it's too cold, it won't whip properly. You can leave it out on the counter for an hour or two, or cut it into smaller pieces to speed up the process.
  • Cream the Butter: In a medium mixing bowl, use an electric mixer (stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a hand mixer) to beat the softened butter until it's light and fluffy. This usually takes 2-3 minutes. This step is key to getting that whipped, airy texture.
  • Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the whipped butter, mixing on low speed until it's fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is mixed.
  • Incorporate Honey: Add the honey to the mixture. Continue to mix until well combined.
  • Add Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon and the pinch of salt (if using). Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Whip Again for Airiness: Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and whip the butter for another 1-2 minutes. This will incorporate more air, making the butter even lighter and fluffier, closer to the texture you find at Texas Roadhouse.
  • Taste and Adjust: Taste the honey butter. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more honey or powdered sugar. If you want more cinnamon flavor, add another 1/2 teaspoon.
  • Serve: Transfer the honey butter to a serving dish. It's best served at room temperature alongside warm rolls, cornbread, pancakes, waffles, or anything you like!
  • Store: Store any leftover honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. If refrigerated, let it come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Notes

Butter Temperature is Key! For that perfect whipped, fluffy texture, ensure your butter is genuinely room temperature and softened. If it’s too cold, it won’t whip properly.
Adjust to Your Taste: Feel free to tweak the amount of honey and cinnamon to your liking. Love a stronger cinnamon kick? Add a bit more! Prefer it less sweet? Cut back slightly on the honey or powdered sugar.
Storage: Store any leftover honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving again for the best spreadable consistency.
Serving Suggestions: While it’s heavenly on warm dinner rolls, don’t stop there! Try it on pancakes, sourdough waffles, cornbread, sourdough biscuits, toast, muffins, or even sweet potatoes!
