Instructions

• Place 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened) in a medium bowl. If the butter is cold, let it soften at room temperature until easily spreadable.
• Beat or stir the butter with a mixer, hand whisk, or fork until light and fluffy, scraping the bowl sides as needed.
• Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, a pinch of salt (omit if you used salted butter), and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon to the butter. Mix until the sugar and spices are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
• Use the butter immediately, or transfer it to an airtight container. To shape, spoon the butter onto a sheet of parchment, form into a log, and wrap tightly in the parchment.
• Refrigerate the prepared butter for storage. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
