Instructions
- Butter Transformation: Utilize an electric mixer to whip softened butter into a light, fluffy cloud-like texture, creating an airy base for the aromatic spread.

- Customize Sweetness Levels: Adjust honey and powdered sugar gradually, tasting as you mix to achieve your ideal balance of sweetness without overpowering the cinnamon.
