This weekend E and I are having friends over for breakfast before we head down to the St. Paddy's day parade and this is one of the treats I am going to make, just to make it a little festive I am going to use green food coloring.
thanks to my neighbor Missy for the recipe- she is a bread making goddess!

cinnamon whipped butter
I was talking with my friends Ann and Tom last night and they were going on and on about how good this cinnamon butter is so I decided to look around for the recipe and this is what I found:
Version #1
This came from a copycat recipe website and is for restaurant quantity, but I am sure it could be cut down to a manageable size.
10 pounds butter, whipped until smooth
2 pounds honey
1 1/2 oz cinnamon
Whip butter until very smooth or it will not come out right. Then whip in the rest of the ingredients. Let sit in the refrigerator at least a few hours for the flavors to meld.
Version #2
1 pound butter
3 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
1 scant teaspoon cinnamon
Version #3
1 stick butter (4 oz)
1 tablespoon honey
scant 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
