Browned Butter Frosting
- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
1 1/2 cups
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup butter, softened
- 4 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup hot milk
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
directions
- In a small saucepan over moderately low heat, melt 1 stick of the butter; continue heating, swirling the pan to prevent burning, until the butter turns nut brown.
- Transfer the butter to a medium bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on low speed, gradually blend in the powdered sugar and salt alternately with the milk and vanilla, until the frosting is smooth.
- Beat in the remaining butter, bit by bit.
- Refrigerate until mixture is cool and thick enough to spread.
- Keep frosted cake or cupcakes refridgerated, since the frosting has a tendency to soften and drip off the sides if it gets too warm.
