BROWN BUTTER BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Place 1/2 cup of butter in a skillet on medium heat. Melt the butter and then allow it to continue to simmer on medium heat. The melted butter will start to bubble and a foam will appear and then brown crystals will begin to form. Stir every 30 seconds for about 6-7 minutes. It will be golden brown, with yummy bits of brown butter goodness floating in the melted butter. When you reach this stage take the brown butter off the heat and pour it into a glass bowl to cool.
• Allow the brown butter to cool but not solidify. Leave it on the counter, not the refrigerator.
• Add the softened butter and the powdered sugar to a mixing bowl.
• Now add the brown butter to the mixing bowl. Use a spatula and make sure you get every bit of the yummy brown butter solids into the mixing bowl.
• Start your mixer (or electric beater) on the lowest setting. Keep on low until the butter and sugar are incorporated and then kick your mixer up to medium high.
• Add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until it is the frosting right consistency. Continue to add milk a teaspoon at a time until it is the right consistency.

BROWN BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Heat butter, stirring constantly, in a saucepan over medium-low heat until it browns and becomes very aromatic, 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk confectioners' sugar into butter until dissolved and remove saucepan from heat; stir in milk and vanilla extract.
• Beat butter mixture using an electric mixer until frosting is smooth; add more milk if frosting is too thick.

BROWN BUTTER ICING

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until nut-brown in color, about 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat, and pour butter into a bowl, leaving any burned sediment behind.
• Add sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk; stir until smooth. If the icing is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon milk, a little at a time, until consistency is spreadable. Let cool 5 minutes. Use immediately.

BROWN-BUTTER FROSTING

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until the milk solids in the butter have turned golden brown and the butter smells toasty, about 10 minutes. Pour the butter into a shallow baking dish, and refrigerate until it is solid but still soft enough that your finger leaves an indentation, about 25 minutes.
• Scrape the cooled butter into a large bowl (be sure not to leave any brown bits in the skillet), and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth. While continuing to beat, add the corn syrup, and beat until incorporated. Scrape down the side of the bowl. Adjust the speed to medium-low, add the confectioners' sugar and salt, and beat until smooth. Use right away or keep for up to 2 hours at room temperature in an airtight container.

SIMPLE VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Place the butter and shortening into the bowl of a stand mixer and, using the paddle attachment, cream the butter on high until light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well combined, approximately 1 minute. Turn off the mixer and add 1/2 cup of the sugar. Mix on low until combined. Stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Repeat until all of the sugar has been incorporated. Add the vanilla and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and light, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 hours or refrigerate for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before using.
