Take 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually mix in 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of bourbon, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Taste and adjust sweetness or bourbon level as needed.
Transfer the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape, twisting the ends to seal tightly.
Refrigerate the butter log for at least 2 hours, or until firm. If you’re in a hurry, pop it in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
Slice the butter into rounds and serve over pancakes, waffles, toast, or warm biscuits. It’s also amazing on roasted veggies or grilled meats!
