Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Begin by taking a large mixing bowl and adding in your softened butter. Ensure it’s at room temperature for easier blending.
Next, incorporate the powdered sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and sea salt into the bowl. These ingredients are what give this butter its signature flavor.
Using an electric mixer, blend everything together on medium speed until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly fluffy. This shouldn’t take long—just a few minutes will do the trick!
Once blended, transfer the butter into an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy it. It’s perfect for spreading on warm rolls or even pancakes!
Storing Suggestion
This butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Just make sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness. It can also be frozen for up to six months. Simply thaw it in the fridge before using it again.
Cooking Tips
For an even richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of powdered sugar. If you like a hint of spice, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or even a splash of vanilla extract. These little tweaks can enhance the butter even more!
Serving Suggestions
This delicious butter is best served at room temperature alongside warm dinner rolls. It also pairs wonderfully with pancakes, waffles, or even toast. For a fun twist, serve it with cinnamon sugar dusted pastries or muffins.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you don’t have powdered sugar, granulated sugar can work in a pinch; just blend it a little longer until it’s finely ground. For a dairy-free option, try using plant-based butter, and adjust the sweetness as needed since some alternatives can be less sweet than traditional butter.
Seasonal Variations
In the fall, add some pumpkin spice to the butter for a seasonal twist. During the holidays, you can include a little nutmeg and cloves to give it a festive flair. Fresh herbs like rosemary can also be incorporated in the spring for a refreshing change.
Allergen Information
This recipe contains dairy (butter) and may contain allergens if you opt for substitutions. If you or anyone in your family has allergies, be sure to choose ingredients that are safe for your dietary needs. For nut allergies, ensure any added flavorings or sugars are nut-free.
