Instructions
- 1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the foam subsides and the milk solids at the bottom turn deep golden-brown and smell nutty, about 6–8 minutes. Pour the browned butter immediately into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Whisk the dark brown sugar and granulated sugar into the cooled brown butter until fully combined. Add the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then whisk in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
