Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 2-4 teaspoons milk adjust based on consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Instructions

  • Make Brown Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty smelling (5–10 minutes). Remove from heat, cool quickly in cold water while stirring.

    pinch salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 cup powdered sugar
  • Adjust Consistency: When the mixture gets lumpy, add milk in small amounts while whisking. Continue adding milk and powdered sugar until you incorporate all the sugar and the glaze is smooth and slow pouring. Adjust with more powdered sugar if you add too much milk.
    2-4 teaspoons milk
  • Use Immediately: Pour or brush over cooled baked goods.
