Ingredients
Method
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, swirling the pan constantly until the butter is a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl and put in your fridge until it sets again (about 2 hours) or the freezer for ½ an hour. (Here is a video on how to brown butter)
- Remove the hardened browned butter from the fridge and let it get to room temperature. With the wire whisk attachment, beat the browned butter for one minute on medium-high. Add the brown sugar and whip until incorporated. Add the orange juice. Add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the sour cream, salt and vanilla. Whip for a few minutes until it is really fluffy. If the frosting gets too firm, you can add more orange juice, adding one tablespoon at a time.
