Preparation.
Step 1.
Whisk brown sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons 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, 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.
