If you have ever been to Texas Roadhouse, you know that the warm rolls served with their legendary cinnamon honey butter are the real star of the meal. That sweet, whipped butter with its warm cinnamon flavor is so good that people eat it by the spoonful. This recipe is dead simple and tastes exactly like the original.
The Secret
The secret is whipping the butter until it is impossibly light and fluffy before adding anything else. This incorporates air and gives the butter that cloud-like texture that makes it so spreadable and addictive. Using powdered sugar instead of granulated ensures a smooth consistency with no gritty texture. The combination of honey and powdered sugar creates the perfect level of sweetness.
Pro Tips
- The butter must be fully softened — not melted, just very soft. Leave it on the counter for 30-45 minutes before starting.
- This butter freezes well. Make a double batch, roll it into a log in plastic wrap, and freeze for up to 3 months.
- Serve alongside the Texas Roadhouse rolls for the complete experience.
- Try this butter on pancakes, waffles, sweet potatoes, or even stirred into oatmeal.
