For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter in both the cupcake batter and the frosting. To make brown butter, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color and has a fragrant aroma. Let it cool slightly before using. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling the cup with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle the frosted cupcakes with chopped pecans or walnuts.
