Recipe FAQs
How long does homemade cinnamon butter last?
It will keep in the refrigerator for up to a month!
Do you have to refrigerate it?
To keep it nice and creamy, leave it out at room temperature in an airtight container. If you’re planning to eat it within a day or two it will be fine at room temperature. After that, I would keep it in the fridge.
Can you use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar?
You can but it might be a little grainy. I like powdered sugar because it isn’t grainy and melts into the butter so it’s really creamy and smooth.
How long does it take to soften butter?
For this recipe, it’s a lot easier to beat the butter when it’s room temperature. Leave it out for at least 30 minutes so it’s soft enough to cream.
Whatever you decided to pair with this copycat cinnamon butter I know you’re going to love it. It’s so simple to make you won’t want plain butter on your rolls anymore. Enjoy!
