What is a Butter Board?
A butter board consists of a board or small serving tray spread with softened butter. The real fun begins with the variety of toppings you can add, from edible flowers and fresh herbs to salty cured meats. Served alongside chunks of bread, a butter board offers endless possibilities for flavor combinations and creativity.
Ingredients and Supplies for a Cinnamon Honey Butter Board
You will want a small to medium sized board to build this board.
Besides the board and a serving knife, you only need 3 ingredients for this board:
- Softened Butter
- Cinnamon
- Honey (you can use regular honey or honeycomb)
How to Assemble this Cinnamon Honey Butter Board
Start by collecting your supplies and softening your butter.
Mix together 1 cup of softened butter with 1-2 tablespoons of honey and a 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Spread the butter directly onto the board. You can do this is a few ways but I prefer putting in onto the board with the back of a spoon or large knife.
Drizzle the remaining honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serve at room temperature with bread and baked goods.
Tips for Making a Cinnamon Honey Butter Board
Use Utensils: While butter boards are meant for sharing, it’s best to provide small plates and butter knives. This prevents bread crumbs from contaminating the butter and avoids the issue of double-dipping.
Soften Naturally: Instead of using the microwave, let the butter soften at room temperature. Microwaving can cause the fat and milk solids to separate.
Add Some Salt: Enhance the flavors by using salted butter or sprinkling a bit of flaky sea salt over the top. This helps balance the sweetness of the honey with the cinnamon.
Simplify Cleanup: Line your board with parchment paper before spreading the butter. This makes cleanup a breeze, as you can simply remove the paper after serving.
