SO delicious and easy to make. I used this on vanilla cupcakes and my son-in-law said it was the best cupcakes EVER! I did have to add additional water, however, because it sets quickly. This is definitely a winner, and I will surely be using it again.

This recipe couldn't be easier or more delicious. The browned butter gives it real character and the texture is perfect. I used it on cupcakes, which took awhile, so I had to add more hot water a couple of times to get it back to the right spreading consistency but that did not affect the taste at all.
