Ingredients
- 8 ounces unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 - 1 cup Grade A maple syrup
- 1/4 - 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Prepare the butter: Place the unsalted butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or into a medium to large-sized bowl if using an electric hand mixer.
- Start whipping: Whip the butter on high speed for 1-2 minutes, beginning at a low speed to avoid splattering, until the butter becomes pale and fluffy.
- Add maple syrup and salt: With the mixer off, add 3/4 cup of maple syrup and 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt to the whipped butter.
- Mix thoroughly: Whip again until the butter, maple syrup, and salt are evenly combined, creating a smooth and airy texture.
- Taste and adjust: Sample the whipped maple butter and add more maple syrup or salt as desired to suit your preference.
- Store or serve: Transfer the whipped maple butter to an airtight container, such as a small mason jar. Serve immediately, or refrigerate; it will keep well for several months.
Notes
- Use Grade A maple syrup for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Make sure butter is at room temperature to whip easily and achieve the right fluffy texture.
- Start whipping at low speed to prevent splattering, then increase to high speed.
- Adjust sweetness and saltiness to your taste preferences by adding maple syrup or kosher salt gradually.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness and a longer shelf life, up to several months.
