Justification Unnecessary

What goes perfect on Sweet Potato Rolls, Pancakes, Waffles, French Toast and Flat Tires? Cinnamon Butter. This is amazing. How can so few ingredients get together and produce such happiness so quick and easily? This was special for Thanksgiving Dinner - I was able to make it a few days ahead which was nice to get something done for the big day early. I mean we do Thanksgiving really low key anyway - but I do enjoy something I can make ahead. This butter is now in our fridge and being used on just about anything that we can justify it for... and sometimes... not much justification needed.

Homemade Cinnamon Butter
1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup (30g) confectioners’ sugar
2 Tablespoons honey or pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
pinch of salt

In a large bowl using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1 minute on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy. Add the remaining ingredients, starting with only 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Beat on medium-high speed until extra creamy and a little fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula and beat again as needed to combine. Taste. Add more cinnamon (up to 1 and 1/4 teaspoons) and/or more salt if desired.
Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and/or a sprinkle of cinnamon or flaky sea salt. Cover leftovers tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 months.
