Servings: 16 servings
Calories: 92kcal
Ingredients
- 150 g vegan butter (soft) (or spread/margarine)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or just a pinch if you are watching how much you use)
- 1 pinch cinnamon (be generous)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 tablespoons maple syrup
Instructions
- Add the soft butter to a mixing bowl and whisk with a hand whisk, electric whisk or wooden spoon until soft and fluffy.
- Add just one tablespoon of maple syrup along with the vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
- Whisk until well combined, then add another tablespoon of maple syrup and whisk again.
- Keep adding another tablespoon of maple syrup and whisking until you have added all 7 tablespoons. Adding them one spoonful at a time helps to get a good blend without it separating.
- After each whisk, you will see it has become a little darker.
- Once you have whisked in all the maple syrup, give it a taste to check the seasoning and to see if the maple syrup flavour is coming through well.
- Add more salt, if you think it needs it and whisk again, but go lightly when adding it. You can also add one more spoonful of maple syrup and whisk again, but I wouldn't add much more than that as you want a buttery texture .It may not need any extra seasoning or maple syrup.
- Spoon it into a clean jam jar or other airtight container and pop it in the fridge until you need it.
- Bask in the glory of being a domestic goddess!!
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store the maple butter in a clean jam jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Freeze for up to 1 month.
- Defrost in the fridge overnight and whisk again if it has separated.
- Serve spread on scones, toast, crumpets, bread or pancakes.
