FAQs
How long does homemade cinnamon honey butter last?
It lasts up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container, and up to 3 months in the freezer.
Can I use margarine instead of butter?
Yes, but the flavor and texture will differ slightly. Butter provides a richer, creamier result.
Is this butter suitable for baking?
Yes, it can be used as a flavored spread or topping, but not as a direct replacement for butter in baking recipes.
Can I make this butter dairy-free?
Yes, use a dairy-free butter alternative, but check that it softens and whips similarly for the best texture.
Do I need to refrigerate the butter?
Yes, for food safety and freshness, it should be refrigerated if not used right away.
Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely. It scales easily—just double or triple all ingredients as needed.
Can I make it less sweet?
Yes, reduce the powdered sugar slightly or adjust the honey to your taste preference.
What can I serve this with?
It’s great on rolls, toast, pancakes, waffles, sweet potatoes, muffins, or even cornbread.
Can I use brown sugar instead of powdered sugar?
You can, but it will change the texture. Powdered sugar blends more smoothly for a creamy spread.
Why is my butter not fluffy?
Make sure the butter is properly softened before mixing, and beat it long enough to incorporate air and create a fluffy texture.
