Ingredients
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) (170 g.) butter, room temperature
1 cup (200 g.) packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. (or a little less) cloves
pinch of salt
Rum
Directions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar, spices and a pinch of salt and beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl and mix again until fluffy.
Keep stored in the fridge when not in use. Can be stored for two weeks, refrigerated.
To make a hot buttered rum: Add 1 oz. to 1 1/2 oz. of rum to an 8 oz. mug (or slightly larger.) Add 2 Tablespoons (I didn't use quite that much) of the spiced butter to the mug. Fill the mug with hot water, stir, and serve.
