BROWN BUTTER FROSTING 🤎 (recipe below) this is

BROWN BUTTER FROSTING 🤎 (recipe below) this is the cozy Fall frosting you’ll want to put on all your cakes! It has a decadent, nutty flavor with notes of caramel and it goes with so many things 🙌🏼⁣ Full recipe + cake flavor pairing ideas at sugarandsparrow.com/brown-butter-frosting-recipe/⁣
⁣⁣
Brown Butter Frosting⁣⁣
Yield: 3 Cups ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Ingredients: ⁣⁣
1 Cups (226g) unsalted butter, room temperature, divided⁣⁣
1 tsp pure vanilla extract⁣⁣
3 1/2 Cups (420g) powdered sugar⁣⁣
2 Tbsp whole milk, room temperature⁣⁣
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instructions: ⁣⁣
1. Brown the butter: Add 1/2 Cup of the unsalted butter into a large frying pan and cook over medium heat until the butter melts, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly. The melted butter will start to foam on top, then will turn light brown in color and smell deliciously nutty. Remove from heat at this point and transfer to a glass container. ⁣⁣
2. Cool the brown butter to room temp for about 2 hours on your counter or place it into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. It should be completely room temperature and thick (about the consistency of a thick caramel) before continuing on with the buttercream recipe.⁣⁣
3. Cream the other 1/2 Cup of unsalted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for 5 minutes on med-high, until creamy and light in color.⁣⁣
4. Add the cooled brown butter and vanilla and mix on medium speed until uniform. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the powdered sugar a few cups at a time, scraping down the bowl and paddle after mixing in each addition. Add the milk and salt and continue mixing on low speed until smooth.⁣⁣⁣

A realistic baking session with my 3 year old 🍪

A realistic baking session with my 3 year old 🍪 it is a mess and requires a fair amount of patience BUT seeing how much he loves to learn + bonding with him while we bake together is worth it ALL! He genuinely loves to be involved in the kitchen which makes it even more fun. Plus we get to enjoy our bakes afterwards so that’s a win win win win👏🏽⁣

Easy Salted Caramel⁣
Yield: 1 Cup⁣
⁣⁣
Ingredients:⁣⁣
1 Cup (200g) white granulated sugar⁣⁣
6 Tbsp (85g) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into cubes⁣⁣
1/2 Cup (120ml) heavy whipping cream, room temperature⁣⁣
1 1/4 tsp kosher salt⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Instructions:⁣⁣
1. Place the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and stir constantly until it melts into an amber-colored liquid and no sugar clumps remain, 5-6 minutes. ⁣⁣
2. Reduce the heat to medium. Carefully add the butter (it will bubble up when you do) and use a whisk to combine it with the sugar mixture until the butter is fully melted and incorporated, 2-3 minutes. ⁣⁣
3. Add the heavy whipping cream in a steady stream while whisking. As soon as the cream is incorporated, let the caramel boil for a full minute before removing it from the heat and stirring in the salt. ⁣⁣
4. Let the caramel cool to room temperature before using it in a cake recipe or as a drip. If you’re using it to drizzle over ice cream or warm baked goods, you only need to cool it slightly (20 minutes or so). It will thicken as it cools. ⁣⁣
