Storing Butter

You can store this at room temperature for 3 days in a sealed container on the counter or refrigerate it for up to 1 month. If it separates a bit, stir it before using it.

You can also freeze the butter for use later. Just place it in a freezer-friendly container and freeze it for up to 3 months. Then, place it in the fridge and allow it to thaw slowly over 24 hours before you use it.

Tips for Success

The butter must be at room temperature. You can achieve room-temperature butter by allowing it to sit on the counter for about an hour. If you melt the butter, it will not have the proper consistency you want.

Taste the butter mixture and adjust the flavoring as you see fit. You can make it less sweet by adding less brown sugar, or if you want it sweeter, add a bit more.

Using a stand or hand mixer will help create that ultra-whipped texture and infuse the flavors together. The longer the butter mixture sits, the more the flavors meld together.

FAQs

How to get brown sugar to dissolve in butter?

The key to this is using a hand or stand mixer. Whipping on medium speed helps the sugar dissolve into the butter. It takes a few minutes to achieve this.

Can I make a larger batch?

Yes, go right ahead and adjust the measurements in the recipe to fit the amount of brown sugar cinnamon butter you want to make. Just use a bowl that is large enough for mixing. Then, follow the instructions as you would for a smaller batch.

Is there a replacement for cinnamon?

If you do not want to use cinnamon or are allergic to it, you can easily swap it with cardamom, allspice, or nutmeg. Any warmer spices like these will work great. You can also use a blend of spices for more depth of flavor.
