Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Step 1: Using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer, add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and blend until smooth and creamy, about 5 to 7 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
