Ingredients for Pecan Cinnamon Sugar Butter

1/2 c. homemade butter
1 tbsp. demara sugar
1 tsp. finely crushed pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon

The best way to crush pecans is to place them in a ziploc bag and give them a few good whacks with a rolling pin. Alternatively, you could use a food processor, but this really takes the fun out of it.

Using a spoon or your hands, blend the crushed pecans into the softened butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon into the butter.

Shape the butter into a log using plastic wrap. Refrigerate until butter log is firm – approximately thirty minutes.

Notes on ingredients: Demara sugar or turbinado sugar is well worth keeping on hand, and is really delicious in this recipe.
