Burnt Butter Frosting

Burnt Butter Frosting

This unusual frosting recipe is made with burnt butter. It is excellent on yellow cakes, and I always get rave reviews. Don’t be tempted to substitute margarine for butter in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 4 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1
Place butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has "burned" and turned a nice tan color. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 2
Slowly mix in confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beating with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired spreading consistency is reached. Use frosting immediately, as frosting will set up quickly.

Tips

In Step 1, if butter turns dark brown or black, you have allowed it to burn too long.
