Introducing a threesome of whipped butters due to the spontaneous decision to purchase this adorable, 3-piece set of lidded ramekins from Target with my daughter. That last little detail, “..with my daughter,” should sum it all up. She and I encourage each other way too much when it comes to Target, HomeGoods and Ulta. (Cue my husband’s look.)
Well, they are absolutely adorable, and why not create three recipes to justify the purchase?
Who doesn’t love a good spread? Yes, when the table and counters are covered with food for family and friends, but also meaning the spreads that smear and cover warm breads and biscuits.
Here are three, fall-inspired whipped butters for your swooning pleasure. Serve as an appetizer, alongside a charcuterie, or to enhance a meal, and, of course, to cure those late-night cravings for something sweet or something salty.
Make one, or make them all! Whipped Apple Cider and Spice Butter and Whipped Chive-Rosemary-Sage Butter.
Enjoy!
Whipped Honey-Molasses Butter
Honey and molasses are whipped into butter for a fall-inspired condiment.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, if desired, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Whip the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or use a hand-held mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your mixer.
- Add the honey, molasses, and a pinch of salt.
- Whip on medium for 1 minute to combine. Taste and add any confectioners' sugar or ground cinnamon to satisfy your tastes.
- Whip for another 1 to 2 minutes or until all the ingredients are combined well.
- Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- If your butter has been refrigerated and firmed-up, remove from the refrigerator about an hour before serving.
