Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 120 milliliters pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Start by taking the unsalted butter and allow it to soften at room temperature. This typically takes about 30 minutes. The butter should be soft enough to spread, but not melted.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter.
Pour in the pure maple syrup over the butter. It is important to use real maple syrup for the best flavor.
Add the vanilla extract to the bowl for additional flavor depth.
Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture, helping to balance the sweetness of the maple syrup.
Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, start to beat the ingredients together on a low speed until they are combined.
Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and well-incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to ensure even mixing.
Once fully mixed, transfer the maple butter to a jar or a sealed container.
Store the maple butter in the refrigerator. Before using, allow it to come to room temperature for easier spreading.
Enjoy your homemade maple butter on breads, pancakes, waffles, or any of your favorite baked goods!
