Milkmaid's Recipe Box: Browned Butter Frosting ("Burnt Butter" Frosting)

Milkmaid's Recipe Box

FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I'm such a FARMER at heart-- even a CALF knows that so much in life is about the FOOD! (A bit of a "bio" about me can be found way down near the bottom.)

You can find a recipe index entitled "Labels" down along the right side, starting below the picture of the farm. Then, below the "Label" list are pictures of some of my old "standbys"-- click on their picture and it should take you to the recipe.

You will see no advertising on my blog; this means there is no monetary benefit for me having "visitors" or "joiners"-- having said that, if you do wish to JOIN my blog, you can do so by scrolling w-a-y down to near the bottom of the page...

Browned Butter Frosting ("Burnt Butter" Frosting)

My favorite frosting for cinnamon rolls, or coconut chew bars, or pumpkin bars.

Heat ½ stick butter in pan only until golden brown in color (stirring all the while). Quickly add about two Tbsp. milk to stop the browning, and then some SIFTED powdered sugar till you have the amount and consistency of frosting you need. It may be necessary to add tiny amounts of more milk to get a smooth texture. I drizzle this over the bars. (You have to get this onto the bars quickly before it thickens.)
