Brown Butter Fairy Cakes

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup fairy cake tin with parchment paper.

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.

   Tip: Be patient, as this step can take up to 10 minutes.

   Remove the browned butter from the heat and let it cool slightly. Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites, plain Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt.

5. 5

   Add the vanilla extract to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.

6. 6

   Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

7. 7

   Divide the batter evenly among the fairy cake cups.

8. 8

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

    To make the glaze, whisk together the caster sugar, confectioners' sugar, and unsalted milk until smooth.

    Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fairy cakes.
