Deep Fried Butter

½ cup light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided, or more as needed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 quart vegetable oil, or as needed
40 eaches toothpicks
¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or as needed

Directions
 Step 1
Whisk brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon together in a shallow bowl. Dip each piece of butter into cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely. Place butter pieces in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze until hard, 8 hours to overnight.

 Step 2
Stir 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons 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 desired batter consistency is reached.

 Step 3
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

 Step 4
Poke a toothpick into the center of each frozen piece of butter. Dip butter into batter to coat completely.

 Step 5
Working in batches, carefully drop coated butter pieces into hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed, about 2 minutes. Transfer fried butter to a paper-towel lined plate and dust with confectioners' sugar
Cook's Note:
For easier coating, try piping the butter into teaspoon sized dots instead of cutting into tablespoon sized pieces.
