Step 1

Line an 8×8 inch square metal pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, add the butter, cinnamon, flour, and sugar and mix with a fork or your hands until a wet sand texture forms. I recommend using your hands for this step! This will be your streusel. Set it aside.

Step 3

Brown the butter: In a medium sized saucepan, add the butter and melt it on medium heat. Once it melts, it will crackle, then become foamy – continue mixing the butter while this happens to prevent burning. The butter will go from melted to golden brown quickly, and you'll know it's almost done when the aroma of browned butter arrives. The whole process should take about 5 minutes! Once golden, remove from heat and transfer to a glass bowl to cool for 20 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk brown butter, milk, eggs, and sour cream until smooth.

Step 5

Add in brown and white sugar and continue on whisking.

Step 6

Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a spatula, gently fold until a soft batter forms. Do not overmix!!!

Step 7

Spoon half of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with half of the streusel. Spread the remaining batter over the streusel. Then finish by sprinkling the remaining streusel.

Step 8

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Mine took 42 minutes exactly!

Step 9

Once cooled, make the glaze by mixing together the icing sugar and lemon juice (or milk). Drizzle, allow it to set, and enjoy!
