Browned Butter Frosting
 
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Garnish: ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Cook until butter turns a medium-brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; pour into a medium bowl. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  2. Beat butter with a mixer at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, milk, zest, vanilla, and salt, beating until a spreadable consistency is reached. Spread over cake. Garnish with cinnamon, if desired.
