Instructions

Whisk brown sugar and 1½ teaspoons of cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Dip each piece of butter into a cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
Place butter pieces in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until hard for 8 hours to overnight.
Stir 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Beat buttermilk, eggs, and white sugar together in another bowl; add flour mixture to buttermilk mixture and beat until smooth.
Gradually stir remaining flour into buttermilk mixture until the desired batter consistency is reached.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Poke a toothpick into the center of each frozen piece of butter. Dip butter into the batter to coat completely.
Working in batches, carefully drop coated butter pieces into hot oil and cook, turning occasionally until golden brown and puffed for about 2 minutes.
Transfer fried butter to a paper-towel-lined plate and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
