What is Compound Butter?

Compound butter is simply butter that’s been given a flavor boost with the addition of herbs, spices, sweetness, or even citrus.

It’s a way to take your everyday butter and turn it into something special. And let me tell ya, this Texas Roadhouse Honey Butter is SPECIAL!

What Does Honey Butter Taste Like?

Honey butter is sweet, rich, and creamy, with a hint of floral notes from the honey and a warm spice kick from the cinnamon.

Spread on warm bread or drizzled over French toast, it transforms any ordinary dish into an extraordinary treat.

Ingredients

I mentioned previously that my Copycat Texas Roadhouse Butter Recipe is easy to make. It doesn’t use any fancy ingredients; you probably already have everything you need to make it.

Butter – Use salted butter in this Texas Roadhouse Butter recipe.
Powdered sugar – Also known as icing sugar or confectioners sugar.
Honey – Use raw honey if you are able for better health benefits.
Vanilla extract – Pure or artificial extract is fine.
Ground cinnamon
Salt – Just a wee pinch!

What Type of Butter is Best?

For this recipe, I recommend using pure butter. I like it to be salted, but unsalted is fine, you might just need to add more than a tiny pinch of salt at the end.

Room temperature butter is best as it mixes more easily to create that fluffy, whipped consistency we’re after.

Ways to Soften Butter Quickly

Just take your butter out of the fridge and let it sit on the counter for about an hour.
If you’re short on time, here’s a quicker way – cut the butter into small pieces. Smaller pieces mean more surface area, which means it’ll soften faster. Spread them out on a plate, and in about 15-20 minutes, you’ll be ready to go.
Ever tried the warm glass trick? Heat a glass by filling it with hot water. After a minute or so, dump out the water and cover the butter with this cozy glass dome. It should only take a few minutes!
Use a cheese grater to shred your butter into thin strips. It sounds odd, but those thin pieces soften in no time flat – perfect for when you’re short on time.

Can I Use Margarine Instead?

No, this recipe needs to be made with butter. Store-brand butter is fine – there’s no need to buy fancy butter. Margarine just won’t whip up the same way, and it won’t taste nearly as good.

How To Make The Best Texas Roadhouse Butter

Add all the ingredients to a bowl and whip it with an electric hand mixer or blender until it is light and fluffy.

They key is to whip it like crazy – the more you whip, the fluffier it will be!

Recipe Tips

For the fluffy consistency you’re after, let the butter soften on the counter for an hour or two before whipping. Need it to soften faster? See our helpful tips below.
Fresh cinnamon makes all the difference! Toss that 10-year-old bottle of ground cinnamon and buy fresh – it’ll be so much more flavorful!
Taste test it after whipping to make sure it’s flavored just right. Add more honey or cinnamon if needed (or maybe a pinch more salt).
Reduce the sugar if you don’t like it quite so sweet.
You can also use a stand mixer, but the whisk attachment might have trouble because there are so few ingredients. An electric hand mixer or a blender really is best.

Serving Suggestion

This cinnamon honey butter is seriously delicious on just about anything.

My favorite way to use this delicious spread is on a warm piece of Longhorn bread. Yes, I know, you’re basically using bread and butter from two different restaurants. Both taste just like the real thing, so I know you’ll love it too!

From your morning toast to pancakes, spread it on and let it melt in.

It’s also fabulous on sweet potato biscuits, cornbread, waffles, warm rolls, English muffins, yeast rolls, and banana bread.

This delicious butter also makes a great gift. Find a cute jar and fill it with this famous butter recipe, tie on a bow, and you’ve got yourself a lovely hostess or holiday gift.

Storage

This cinnamon compound butter will keep in the fridge for up to a month. Keep it in an airtight container and use it on everything! Or freeze it. Pack it into an airtight container or in a resealable plastic bag and freeze it for up to 3 months. Just let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then dig in!

Do You Have To Refrigerate Honey Butter?

Normally, salted butter doesn’t need to be refrigerated and is fine at room temperature for up to a week. This flavored butter doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge unless you’re not going to eat it up within about a week. It’s fine on the counter for a few days; just keep it covered.

Is This Honey Butter Vegan?

No, but a few swaps will make it vegan. Use your favorite vegan-friendly butter in place of the dairy, and use agave syrup instead of honey. The flavor of the vegan cinnamon butter will be very close to the Texas Roadhouse version.
