Want an easy copycat butter spread that tastes just like the one from that famous Texas steakhouse? I've nailed the recipe! This homemade cinnamon-honey butter blend matches the restaurant version perfectly. It's super easy to throw together and brings that sweet, warm flavor we can't get enough of. Spread it on hot buns and you'll wonder how you ever ate plain butter before.

Why This Steakhouse Butter Stands Out

My whole family goes wild for this butter spread. With its velvety feel and just the right mix of honey sweetness and warm cinnamon, it's totally addictive. This DIY version tastes identical to what you'd get at that popular restaurant chain but made right at home. Whenever I bring it out, everyone at the table asks me how I made it.

Origins Of This Tasty Spread

This cinnamon-honey butter has gained quite a following at the steakhouse where they pair it with their hot, fluffy rolls. After many kitchen tests, I've got the formula just right. Now you can enjoy this flavor without the long wait times. Whether you miss that distinct taste or want to wow your dinner company, this speedy butter creation brings restaurant magic straight to your home.

Creating Butter Bliss

You'll be shocked at how quick this butter blend is to create. It's truly the simplest thing you'll make all day. This delicious spread comes together in mere minutes using just a handful of common ingredients.

Your Ingredient List

  • Salted Butter: One cup at room temperature, the foundation of your amazing spread.
  • Honey: A quarter cup adds that signature sweetness.
  • Cinnamon: Half teaspoon brings that unmistakable warm flavor.

How To Make Steakhouse Butter

  1. Prepare Your Butter: Let your butter sit out about an hour until completely softened.
  2. Combine Everything: This no-fail recipe just needs you to whip the butter, honey, and cinnamon together until light and creamy.
  3. Time To Enjoy: Your homemade spread is finished! Transfer to a nice serving dish and watch everyone's eyes light up.

Secrets For Butter Success

  • Watch Your Butter Temp: Truly soft butter is essential for this spread - don't try to rush it.
  • Tackle Thick Honey: Give your honey a few seconds in the microwave if it's too thick, making it easier to mix in.
  • Customize To Taste: Don't be afraid to play with this spread - a bit more cinnamon or extra honey works great.

Storing Your Creation

Keep your butter blend in something airtight in the refrigerator and it'll stay good for a week. Want to make a bigger batch? You can wrap it well and stick it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just move it to the fridge when you're craving that amazing taste again.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Why does my butter need to be room temperature?

Room temperature butter whips more easily and blends better with honey and cinnamon. Cold butter won't whip properly or mix smoothly.

→ Can I use a stand mixer instead of hand mixer?

Yes, a stand mixer works well too. Use the paddle attachment and scrape down sides occasionally while mixing.

→ Why whip for 10 minutes?

Extended whipping creates a light, fluffy texture similar to the restaurant version. It also ensures ingredients blend completely.

→ Can I use unsalted butter?

Yes, just add a pinch of salt to match the original flavor. Salted butter provides the right taste balance.

→ How do I soften butter quickly?

Cut butter into small pieces and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Don't microwave as it can melt unevenly.
