Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- pinch salt
- *replace one tablespoon of water with vanilla extract vanilla bean paste or maple syrup if desired)
Instructions
- Place your butter in a small saucepan, over medium-low heat melt butter; it will snap, sizzle and pop, swirl it around every once in a while, when it starts foaming up let it sit on low until foaming subsides, by then your butter should have a nutty aroma and a caramel color. Remove from heat and cool for a few minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl, measure powdered sugar and pour in browned butter and water, add a pinch of salt and whisk until smooth and pipeable or spreadable. If it seizes up on you or is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time until thin enough to pipe or spread. Whisking well to combine.
- Drizzle on your baked goods with a spoon, or pour your glaze into a piping bag (baggies work great too) for piping. Simply snip the end (or corner from a baggie). Be sure to snip a tiny bit initially and see how the stream comes out, if too tight, snip a bit more off until you get the desired amount.

Notes
- TIP | If desired, replace a tablespoon of water with vanilla extract or maple syrup!BAKING HACK | When scooping frosting or in this case pouring your glaze into a piping bag, simply place the bag in a tall, heavy glass (plastic won't work as it's too light), roll down the edges of your piping bag to enlarge the opening and pour or scoop the frosting/glaze inside.
- Try it on my Banana Bread, Pumpkin Bread (using maple), Banana Graham Streusel Muffins, Maple Pumpkin Scones (maple or vanilla is delicious) or Cinnamon Crunch Scones or drizzle as I did on these amazing, crisp edged-chewy centered Pan Banging Sugar Cookies!!
