- 1 tsp sea salt flakes
Serving Accompaniments:

Instructions
- Retrieve softened unsalted butter and transfer to a medium mixing bowl, ensuring the butter is at room temperature for optimal blending.

- Whisk honey and cinnamon thoroughly to ensure consistent flavor distribution throughout the butter spread.
- Use a wide wooden board with ample surface area to create visually appealing swirls and make sharing easier.
- Toast nuts briefly to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a delightful crunch against the creamy butter.
- Experiment with alternative toppings like chopped almonds, pistachios, or dried cranberries for unique variations.
- Adjust honey and cinnamon quantities to suit personal taste preferences, keeping balance between sweetness and spice.
