Brown Sugar Pound Cupcakes With Brown Butter Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour butter into a bowl, leaving sediment behind.
• Add sugar, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons milk to butter, and stir until smooth. If glaze is too thick, add more milk. Use immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan., Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating after each addition just until combined., Transfer to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean, 55-65 minutes. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely., For glaze, combine butter and pecans in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter is light golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Stir into confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla, salt and enough cream to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cake, allowing some to drip down sides. Let stand until set.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups, grease bottoms and sides of muffin cups with shortening and lightly flour, or spray with baking spray with flour.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat 1 cup butter on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add granulated sugar and brown sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, with 2/3 cup milk, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
• Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each with about 3 tablespoons batter or until two-thirds to three-fourths full.
• Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until light golden brown. Cool completely. In large bowl, beat browned butter, powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons milk with electric mixer on low speed. until blended. Beat in enough remaining milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until frosting is smooth and spreadable. Frost cupcakes.

Steps:

• Soften 2 sticks butter.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Line muffin pan with paper liners.
• Cream 2 sticks butter and the brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, beating after each addition.
• Add buttermilk (Plain yogurt also works well) and mix well.
• Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
• Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake until golden and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Set cupcakes on wax paper to cool.
• When ready to frost, melt remaining stick of butter over medium heat until golden brown.
• Remove from heat and add confectioners sugar and vanilla to butter and mix. Add milk one tablespoon at a time until smooth and of your desired thickness. I like to leave it on the thick side so it doesn't run off the sides of the cupcakes, but it's up to you what you like.
• Spoon glaze over each cupcake and swirl it around.
• Let stand until glaze is set.

Steps:

• Brown the butter: Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat. (Use a skillet with a light interior so you can easily see the milk solids change color.) Cook the butter, stirring occasionally and scraping the milk solids off the bottom and sides of the pan as needed, until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell toasty, about 2 minutes. Transfer the butter to a small bowl and refrigerate until slightly firm and creamy looking but not totally hardened, about 30 to 60 minutes. (It should be the texture of a softened stick of butter.)
• Heat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center. Butter an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that hangs over the two long sides.
• Add the hazelnuts to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the flour and baking powder, and pulse to combine.
• Combine the chilled browned butter, sugar, lemon zest and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or use a large bowl and electric hand mixer. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, stopping the mixer once or twice to scrape down the sides of the bowl and paddle, about 5 minutes.
• Add the eggs one at time, completely mixing each egg in before adding the next.
• With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to ensure the batter is evenly mixed.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake until golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 65 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift it out of the pan and onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add a bit more juice if necessary to make a pourable but opaque glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf and let it set for about 15 minutes before slicing. Store the cake covered, at room temperature, for about 4 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
• Reduce speed to low. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture in 3 additions, alternating with buttermilk and ending with dry. Scrape sides of bowl. Divide batter among muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
• Bake cupcakes until testers inserted into centers come out clean, 25 minutes. Let cool in tins on wire racks. (Unglazed cupcakes will keep, covered, for up to 3 days.) Set racks with cupcakes over parchment-lined baking sheets. Spoon glaze over tops, and let stand until set. Serve glazed cupcakes immediately.
