Cinnamon-Scented Maple Butter
If you're looking to add a luxurious touch to quick breads, pancakes or even toast, this Cinnamon-Scented Maple Butter is just the ticket. And it's so quick and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
How To Make This Recipe
-
Soften the butter at room temperature to spreadable consistency. Place in a bowl, and stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon until completely blended. At this point you should taste it to ensure the maple syrup and cinnamon are balanced to your liking. Warning: proceed with caution; you may not be able to stop at just one taste!
-
Place the flavoured butter on parchment paper, and roll, shaping it as you go into a log that's 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. (Note: if the butter is very soft, you could put it in the fridge for a short period of time to stiffen it up a bit before rolling it.) Wrap it as tightly as you can and use butcher's twine to tie off the ends. (Plastic wrap is an alternative to the parchment paper.)
-
If using within a couple of days you can store this compound butter in the fridge; otherwise, put it in the freezer where it can be kept for a couple of months or so. Slice off patties as you need them. You may find yourself needing them very often.
