How To Make Homemade Maple Butter Recipe
Homemade Maple Butter is perfectly sweet and tastes amazing on toast, pancakes, waffles, and more! Easy to make in 25 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer or a wooden spoon to blend the softened butter and brown sugar. Slowly add in the maple syrup as you continue to mix. Beat until combined well and the texture is uniform.
- Transfer the maple butter mixture to a storage container, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. The butter should firm up, but still be a spreadable consistency.
- OPTIONAL: After 20 minutes, you can shape the butter into a log using wax paper. Chill for an additional 30 minutes to an hour, or until the desired firmness is reached. This is great for slicing.
- Use your maple butter on english muffins, toast, pancakes, sweet potatoes, or even in your baking for a touch of maple sweetness.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
The sweetness of maple butter can easily be adjusted to your taste. If you’re unsure of the sweetness level, start with less brown sugar and add more as you taste, and adjust accordingly.
Maple syrups will vary by brand and grade. Darker syrups will have a more robust maple flavor, whereas lighter syrups will have a more delicate taste.
Use a high quality butter for best results.
