Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter
3 ½ to 4 cups powdered sugar
3-4 Tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
pinch Kosher salt

Instructions

Brown butter: Melt 1/2 butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the butter has turned a golden brown and has a nutty aroma. As soon as you notice the color change, quickly remove the pan from heat to prevent it from burning.
Make frosting. Whisk in 3 1/2 - 4 cups powdered sugar, 3-4 Tablespoons milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla. Pour immediately over your dessert and spread evenly with a spatula. Move quickly, as the frosting will thicken fast. Cover until ready to serve.
