Ingredients
- 13 tbsp unsalted butter 184g, divided (1⅝ stick)
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 210g
- ½ tsp baking soda 3g
- 1 cup dark brown sugar 213g
- ¼ cup granulated sugar 50g

Instructions
- Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tbsp butter and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda; set aside.13 tbsp unsalted butter, 1¾ cups all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking soda
- Melt 9 tbsp butter in a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized saucepan set over medium heat. Brown the butter, swirling continuously, until the butter has melted and is dark golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Most of the bubbling will have subsided, and the butter will have a nutty aroma. Watch carefully for the last minute, as it can burn quickly. Transfer the melted butter to a large, heat-proof bowl and add the remaining 3 tbsp butter; stir until melted.
- Add the sugars, salts, and vanilla; whisk until incorporated. Add egg and egg yolk and whisk until smooth, about 30 seconds. Let mixture stand 3 minutes. Repeat the process of whisking (30 seconds) and resting (3 minutes) for 3 times more times (a total of 4 times). Mixture will be thicker, smooth, and shiny.1 cup dark brown sugar, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, 1½ tsp kosher salt
