While the cupcakes are cooling, add the butter to a small skillet and cook over medium-low heat until lightly browned and fragrant. Watch carefully so that it does not burn.

Add the powdered sugar to a medium bowl and add the brown butter. Whisk to combine. Whisk in the vanilla and add milk until the glaze is a thick honey consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cupcakes.
