Speaking of classy. Have you figured out what you’re giving your neighbors for Christmas this year? Last year I did these Caramel Nougat Pecan Rolls, which are super fun to make but take some doing. This year I have a newborn baby who has this habit of demanding basically every moment of my life, so I’m thinking less homemade candy and more 2-minute maple butter. “A clown nose. An insulated clown nose. That would solve your problem,” he says. In other news, today I sent a care package to someone that had trash stuffed in it. The tupperware of cookies that I was sending was a bit smaller than the box that I picked to send it in, and I was already at the post office, with no filler paper or bubble wrap. I looked around to see if there was anything I could use and spotted the full trash can. I could see what was in it: a brand-new discarded priority envelope, and some crumpled Christmas wrapping paper. No gum. No food. Just paper, as far as the eye could see, exactly what I needed… This maple butter recipe was inspired by this classic Cinnamon Honey Butter Recipe, which is just as easy and quick (and delicious!!). I was going to share this recipe before Thanksgiving so that you could serve it with your dinner rolls, but then I had a baby and didn’t have time. Oops! Save it for next year! Or just make it right now and keep it all for yourself, because this stuff is amazing. It’s begging to be spread on your morning English muffin. Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram
butter maple syrup, Grade A powdered sugar Kosher salt
Maple has a pretty mild flavor, so I used quite a bit in this maple butter recipe because I wanted the maple flavor to pack a punch. Feel free to adjust according to your taste. The small amount of powdered sugar is there to help with the texture. Make sure you add the maple syrup gradually so that the butter stays nice and fluffy. Add the amount of salt you like! For me that’s a LOT of salt. You do you. I love that you can make it ahead and it’s ready to go whenever you need it, especially if you plan to gift it.
