Notes

Serving Tips

Temperature Matters: For easy spreading, keep the cinnamon honey butter at room temperature. It will be soft and spreadable, perfect for slathering on rolls, toast, or bagels. If you prefer it cold, it will be firmer but still delicious.
Presentation: Serve the butter in a small dish or ramekin alongside your bread or rolls. A decorative butter dish can enhance the presentation and make it look even more inviting.
Portion Control: Offer a small amount of butter at a time to avoid over-serving. You can always provide more if needed, but starting with a manageable portion helps prevent waste.
Pairing Ideas: Beyond bread and toast, this cinnamon honey butter can be used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or even a dollop on sweet potatoes. It adds a deliciously sweet and savory flavor to various dishes.

Storage Tips

Refrigeration: Store the cinnamon honey butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator if you plan to keep it for an extended period. It will last for up to 2 weeks when refrigerated.
Room Temperature: If you plan to use the butter within a few days, you can leave it out at room temperature in a covered container. It will remain spreadable and delicious for up to 3 days. Be mindful of food safety, especially in warmer climates.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the cinnamon honey butter. Place it in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag, and it will keep for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator before use and give it a good whip to restore its creamy texture.
Avoid Contamination: Always use a clean utensil to scoop out the butter to prevent contamination and spoilage. This practice helps maintain the freshness and quality of the butter.

By following these serving and storage tips, you can ensure your Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon Honey Butter remains delicious and ready to enjoy whenever you want a sweet, buttery treat!
