Brown butter frosting is an 'old' recipe that is not commonly used anymore; however it is delicious. It is easy to make as long as you are careful to not burn the butter. This frosting is great on top of brownies.

Ingredients

  • 0.25 cups butter
  • 2.5 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk , or more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat butter, stirring constantly, in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it browns and becomes very aromatic, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk confectioners' sugar into butter until dissolved and remove saucepan from heat; stir in milk and vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Beat butter mixture using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth; add more milk if frosting is too thick.
