This Texas Roadhouse Butter copycat tastes exactly like the sweet, cinnamon-honey butter served with those warm rolls — maybe even better. It’s creamy, lightly sweet, and takes just minutes to make at home with simple ingredients. If you don’t have a Texas Roadhouse nearby (or just want unlimited butter at home), this recipe fills that need perfectly.
I recommend this butter spread on Homemade Southern-Style Buttermilk Biscuits.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Stir the Softened Butter
Begin by stirring up your softened butter. Make sure it’s softened at room temperature, not melted.
Step 2. Mix in all ingredients
Then, simply stir in all the remaining ingredients, refrigerate, and spread the butter on rolls, biscuits, or toast.
Expert Tips
Use softened butter, not melted. Softened butter is key for that light, whipped texture. If the butter is melted, the mixture won’t hold air and will turn greasy instead of fluffy.
Whip longer than you think. Beating the butter for an extra minute or two incorporates air and gives you that restaurant-style, spreadable texture.
Adjust sweetness to taste. Texas Roadhouse butter is lightly sweet, not sugary. Start with less honey and powdered sugar, then adjust as needed.
Let it chill before serving. Refrigerating the butter for at least 30 minutes helps the flavors meld and firms it up to the perfect consistency.
Great for more than rolls. Try this butter on pancakes, waffles, cornbread, biscuits, or even sweet potatoes.
