Browned Butter Glaze
This rich, nutty browned butter glaze is the perfect topping for everything from cinnamon rolls to apple cake. This easy recipe is quick to make, full of warm flavor, and adds a bakery-worthy finish to any homemade treat.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons milk plus 1- 2 teaspoons more as needed to achieve consistency
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Place the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and continue to cook it until it begins to foam. Gently swirl and shake the pan as the butter begins to turn golden brown. It may be hard to see the color underneath the foam so you may need to shake the skillet firmly to get a glimpse. As soon as it is browned, scrape the melted butter into a small mixing bowl so it stops cooking.
- Make the Glaze: Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 1 or 2 teaspoons of milk to start. Whisk it together with a fork. Add additional milk, just 1 teaspoon at a time, until the proper consistency is reached.
