Butter Glaze Food

BROWN-BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour butter into a bowl, leaving sediment behind.
• Add sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk to butter, and stir until smooth. If glaze is too thick, add more milk. Use immediately.

BUTTERY VANILLA GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a measuring cup and stir together until there are no lumps.
• To adjust the consistency, add more or less cream until desired consistency has been reached.
• Drizzle on cakes, muffins, cinnamon buns and more!

VANILLA BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Mix 3 tbsp butter, melted, 2-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, 3 tbls water and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
• Let stand 3 minutes or until thickened.
• Drizzle on cake.

SOURED CREAM BUNDT CAKE WITH BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Grease and lightly flour a 1.4 litre (6 cup) fluted bundt tin. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat well using an electric mixer until the mixture is very light and fluffy. Add the eggs a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Add a little flour if the mixture starts to separate. Add the vanilla extract.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt and stir half into the butter mixture together with half the soured cream. Beat well together.
• Add the remaining flour and soured cream and mix well. Spoon into the prepared tin and spread level.
• Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins. When cooked remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins.
• To make the glaze put all the ingredients into a small pan and heat until the butter has melted. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat a little and simmer for 3 mins. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken.
• Turn the cake out onto a wire rack over a tray. Pour or brush half of the glaze over the cake. Leave to soak in. Then pour the remaining glaze over the cake. Leave until completely cold before serving.

BUTTER GLAZE FOR GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Place 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Remove the pan from heat; immediately pour the melted butter into the bowl with the sugar. Add 4 teaspoons milk; whisk until mixture is smooth. Working quickly, dip the top of each cupcake into the glaze, and place cupcake right-side up on a wire rack.
• Repeat step 1; glaze remaining cupcakes. Allow glaze to set, about 20 minutes, before decorating.

CHOCOLATE BUTTER GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a heatproof medium bowl.
• Place in a skillet of barely simmering water.
• Stir frequently, until almost completely melted.
• Remove bowl from skillet and stir until mixture is smooth.
• Do not whisk or beat the glaze.
• Let stand at room temperature without stirring until cooled, thick and spreadable (about 30mins, depending on kitchen temp).
• You may also use microwave for the melting step (as I did), just mix the ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Nuke the mixture at LOW power for approx 20 sec, remove bowl, stir gently.
• Repeat until chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth.
• The first layer of glaze- Spread a very thin layer using 1/4 of the glaze over the top and sides of cake (cake must be at room temp).
• Be sure to smooth rough surfaces and fill in any cracks.
• Be careful not to get any crumbs into the bowl of glaze.
• This is the'crumb coat', and it gives the cake a smooth and even undercoat for the final glaze.
• The final glaze- Rewarm the glaze in microwave/double boiler for a few seconds.
• Stir gently until smooth.
• Do not overheat; glaze should be 90F for it to dry to a shiny finish.
• If necessary, cool to proper temperature.
• Once the final glaze has been applied, let cake stand at room temp until the glaze sets, about 15mins.
• NOTE: Do no re-spread glaze once it has set, or it will have marks and dull streaks.
