FOR THE BROWN BUTTER FROSTING
-
Step 7: In a small saucepan heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted.
-
Step 8: Continue heating until butter turns a light golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
-
Step 9: In a large bowl beat browned butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract on medium until frosting reaches spreading consistency, adding additional milk if needed. (Makes 1 1/2 cups).

NOTE: I prefer doubling the frosting as it is really good and therefore adds more yumminess and completeness to this recipe, but it is up to you.
