Start with the butter. Before you begin, let it soften at room temperature. This step is crucial. Softened butter will combine effortlessly with the other ingredients, resulting in a smooth mixture.
In a mixing bowl, add the softened butter. With a hand mixer or a whisk, beat it until it’s fluffy, about one to two minutes.
To the fluffy butter, add the honey, maple syrup, and pure vanilla extract. Mix on low speed to combine these until just incorporated. The honey will add a lovely sweetness, while the vanilla enhances the depth of flavor.
Next, carefully sift in the confectioners’ sugar, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt. If you choose to use nutmeg, sprinkle it in now. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Make sure there are no lumps and everything is evenly blended.
Ah, the moment of truth! Give your butter a taste to ensure that the balance is just right. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or sugar, if desired.
Transfer the whipped butter into an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. The cold temperature will help it firm up slightly, making it perfect for spreading.
