Brown-Butter Frosting
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- Pinch fine salt
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally, until the milk solids in the butter have turned golden brown and the butter smells toasty, about 10 minutes.
- Pour the butter into a shallow baking dish, and refrigerate until it is solid but still soft enough that your finger leaves an indentation, about 25 minutes.
- Scrape the cooled butter into a large bowl (be sure not to leave any brown bits in the skillet), and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth.
- While continuing to beat, add the corn syrup, and beat until incorporated.
- Scrape down the side of the bowl.
- Adjust the speed to medium-low, add the confectioners' sugar and salt, and beat until smooth.
- Use right away or keep for up to 2 hours at room temperature in an airtight container.
