For a more intense bourbon flavor, add up to 1 fluid ounce (30ml). Sifting the confectioners' sugar ensures a smooth, lump-free frosting. If you don't have a vanilla bean, 1 teaspoon of high-quality vanilla extract can be substituted. The browned butter can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. Be sure to bring it to room temperature before using. Adjust the amount of confectioners' sugar to achieve your desired consistency. Add more for a thicker frosting, less for a thinner frosting.
