Ingredients
8 ounces butter, room temperature
4 tins flat anchovies, drained
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pat the drained anchovies dry with paper towels and finely mince them until they form a paste-like consistency.
Add the minced anchovies to the creamed butter and blend thoroughly, breaking down any remaining pieces until fully incorporated.
