                I had recently tried Browned-Butter Rice Crispy Treats, and knew there was probably a glaze out there. I used this recipe, but I used a little bit more butter, about 2.25cups of the powdered sugar, 2tsp of Vanilla bean paste, and 4 tablespoons of Heavy Cream. Oooommmggg! The browned butter taste was AMAZING. I didn't "remove the sediment" or whatever, like they say to, and it turned out fine. I figured it was taken out for aesthetic reasons. I used the glaze on some scones. :) YUM.

                Made these the other night (comments on the cupcake recipe).  I actually like the glaze better than the cake recipe.  
                And I couldn't find any vanilla bean to add (for the pretty little speckles in the glaze), but I realized that since I didn't leave the sediment behind as directed, and I used all of what was in the melted butter, that actually gave it the same appearance as the glaze pictured above, and it wans't gross or anything.

                Is one cup of this glaze enough for the 29 cupcakes the recipe makes, if I like things sweet?
                Can I use the buttermilk from the cupcake recipe isntead of buying wholemilk just for the glaze?
                And I've heard others mention thickening this glaze for sending the cupcakes in lunches, etc.  What's the right tweaking method thickening it?
                
                Thank you for the help with all my questions!

                This glaze is AMAZING!!  I used it like frosting and doubled the powdered sugar   color = pink!!  It was perfect and delicious.  I also browned the butter with a split vanilla bean in the butter which made it amazingly tasty.  You MUST use this warm though - "use immediately" should not be overlooked!
