Maple Cinnamon Butter

I've always liked having those flavored butters at restaurants that always added a little bit of pop to any bread. I had always though they would have been difficult to make, but in reality it wasn't difficult at all with a mixer. By hand however, this recipe would be difficult and time to make by hand though. It was no match for the KitchenAid though.

This recipe requires only 4 ingredients: Confections sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and of course butter.


Place the softened butter in the mixer bowl with the flat beater attached. Add the confectioners sugar. Becoming mixing to create a uniform mix at speed 1. Once uniform mix at speed 6 for 3 minutes.


After completing the whipping of the butter and sugar it should look something like this.


At this stage add the cinnamon and begin mixing at speed 4. I turned the mixer off to make sure I didn't add the spice on top of the beater.


I mixed on speed 4 and slowly added the maple syrup one tablespoon of syrup at a time stopping the mixer at each at each addition until all 3 are added. I then beat the mixture for an additional 2 minutes to get the mixture creamy.


A picture of me pouring the syrup.


This is how it should look once its complete.


I couldn't resist to try it and had to take a little bit. Yummy. It was really delicious on some left over cinnamon swirl bread which I made prior on this post, HERE


I thought it would be nice to place it in a container to keep it for later, and this small glad ware container fit it just perfectly. Looks good too.


Recipe


2 sticks of softened, unsalted butter
1 cup of confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons of maple syrup
1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon

Attach the flat beater and pouring shield (if available) to the standmixer. Place the softened butter and icing sugar into the bowl. Turn to speed 1 and mix until combined. Increase to speed 6 and beat 3 minutes, wiping down the sides of the bowl regularly with a spatula. Decrease to speed 4 and slowly pour in the syrup and the cinnamon, beat 2 minutes or until well combined
