Is anything better than butter? BROWNED BUTTER!
If you’ve never ever made this, and then mixed it into some frosting–you need to stop what you’re doing and go make this right now. I made this cake a few weeks ago for Better Homes and Gardens blog and just DIED over the results. I love the nutty almost maple flavor that the browned butter gives in the frosting. It’s seriously so tasty! Especially with a little dash of cinnamon on top of super moist cake! Mmm….
If you’re wanting to brown butter, then all you do is throw some into a small saucepan, place it over medium low heat and watch it like a hawk. Once things start looking all golden, then you’re done! Super simple to do and you’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes in all sorts of recipes.

Brown butter anything is incredibly yummy!! I have found that you have to watch it better than a hawk…before it foams, it bubbles violently, and can easily splatter onto skin. Then when it foams, you can’t see that its turning brown unless you stir it. So, stir gently! Lauren, where is the actual recipe, please? Thank you!!
