Hi hi, I am just popping in to share this super easy Maple Butter with you! This is a twist on my super easy Honey butter, but is made with maple syrup instead. My Maple butter is quick and easy - you simply whip together softened butter with maple syrup and a good amount of salt, and you are done!

You can either serve this maple butter as a whipped butter at room temperature, or store it in the fridge to have as needed. It will keep for weeks. It is amazing on anything breakfast related, or to finish bread rolls. The options are really endless.

This Maple Butter is a recipe in a series of compound butter recipes that I have - you can see them all in my flavoured butter recipes. They would make AMAZING homemade gifts.

Choose a good quality maple syrup

With the main flavour of this maple butter being maple syrup (groundbreaking stuff), you want to choose a real maple syrup rather than an imitation one.

It is super important to add salt to your maple butter to make sure that it is nice and balanced. I use salted butter and then add a big pinch of flaky sea salt, but you can use whatever you like - just taste and adjust.

My easy Salted Maple Butter will take your breakfasts to the next level! Perfect on waffles, pancakes, or anything else that needs a touch of sweetness, this maple butter comes together in an instant and can be stored in the fridge for weeks! 


Notice: JavaScript is required for this content.

Ingredients

  • 230g butter, salted or unsalted, at room temperature (I like salted)

  • Salt to taste (I use a big pinch of flaky sea salt)


Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into a medium bowl. Whip together with a spoon or a spatula, or use an electric hand mixer. It may seem as if the butter is curdled - just keep mixing. 
  2. Taste and add more salt if needed. 
  3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or spread onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll up in to a sausage and twist at both ends. 
  4. Store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze for a few months.
