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!

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.⁣⁣⁣
