Ingredients

½ cup salted butter softened to room temperature*
¼ cup pure maple syrup

Instructions

Add the softened butter and maple syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer, or to a medium sized bowl with a hand mixer.
Whip on medium speed until the mixture is thoroughly combined and fluffy, for about 3-5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides a few times to make sure everything is whipped evenly.
Transfer the whipped maple butter to a small bowl and serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Take it out at least 1 hour prior to serving so it can soften.
Spread it on waffles, pancakes, French toast, biscuits, cornbread, toasted sourdough or anywhere you want a sweet salty buttery finish.

Notes

If using unsalted butter, add ¼ teaspoon salt to balance it out.
For the richest flavor, choose a European style butter with higher butterfat.
Use only real maple syrup, not an artificially flavored corn syrup based pancake syrup.
To make neat slices, place the butter on parchment or wax paper, roll into a log, twist the ends and chill until firm. Then, slice into coins.
