Brown butter takes any recipe you use it into a whole new level! The nutty aroma that swirls through the air as it’s turning from plain butter to a golden brown liquid with tiny specs of mouthwatering goodness, is so enticing!!
I like to use this delectable icing on Bundt cakes. It takes the overall flavor of the cake over the top! YUMMY!!
Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (113 grams)
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar (227 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 5 tablespoons milk (room temperature)
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions:
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Butter will start to bubble. Continue stirring constantly, until golden brown (about 7-10 minutes). Immediately remove from heat as soon as it turns golden in color. It can darken very quickly.
Immediately pour the browned butter into a bowl. Make sure to get most of those brown bits. They have so much flavor! Sift confectioners’ sugar into the bowl. Add the vanilla bean paste, milk and salt to butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until smooth. Add more milk if needed.
Spoon icing over cake and spread with an offset spatula.
I hope you try this delightful icing, and if you do, be sure to post pictures and tag me on Instagram @goodeatsbymimi.
Enjoy!!
