New Love: Cinnamon Toast Butter from Ronnybrook
Not to dismiss the innovation of
Ronnybrook Farms
Mmm. We first spotted it at Whole Foods but ended up buying it at the farmers’ market, straight from the Ronnybrook vendor. And we’ve been eating it every morning for the past week, spread on raisin bread and toasted.
Here’s what happens when you run this stuff under the broiler (or the toaster oven): The butter melts, and the cinnamon and sugar that are mixed in get bubbly and slightly crispy on top. Delicious. And clearly this would not be a hard thing to make at home. Soften some butter, mix in a load of cinnamon, sugar, and a pinch of salt, and form it into a log.
We’re sort of toying with the idea of adding this butter to a savory pasta dish with butternut squash. Or maybe figured into this pie somehow. What do you think?
