Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2–4 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Cook it until it foams and then turns a deep golden brown color, stirring constantly to ensure it does not burn. After achieving that beautiful color and nutty aroma, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Using a mixer, start on low speed to blend the ingredients together until they just combine. Add the milk or cream a tablespoon at a time until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
- Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is smooth and creamy, allowing air to incorporate for a light, airy texture.
- Use the frosting immediately to generously frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies. Enjoy the beautiful transformation of your baked goods!
Notes
Store leftover frosting in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
