Ingredients

½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of fine sea salt (to taste)
Optional: ¼ tsp vanilla extract or ½ tsp orange zest

Directions

Whip. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter 30–60 seconds until creamy. Add honey, cinnamon, and salt; beat 1–2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Serve or shape. Spoon into a ramekin (pretty swirls!) or transfer to parchment and roll into a log; twist ends to seal.
Chill. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes to firm slightly, or keep soft at room temp for immediate serving.

Serving Ideas

Spread on toast, pancakes, waffles, biscuits, and cornbread; melt over baked sweet potatoes or roasted carrots; dab onto warm rolls.

Make-ahead: For rosettes, pipe onto parchment with a star tip, chill until firm, then store in an airtight container.

Storage

Cover and refrigerate up to 1 week, or freeze butter logs up to 3 months. Slice from frozen as needed.
