Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

Directions

Instructions Checklist
  • For brown butter, in a small saucepan melt 1/4 cup butter over low heat. Continue heating until butter turns a light golden brown; cool. In a medium bowl beat 1/4 cup softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add cooled brown butter, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt; beat until combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Beat in enough of the buttermilk to make a frosting of spreading consistency. Use immediately. If frosting begins to set up, stir in a small amount of boiling water.
