Caramel Frosting

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c butter
  • 1 c dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 T milk
  • 2 1/2 c unsifted powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a 2 qt saucepan; stir in brown sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and boil hard for 2 min, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add milk, stirring vigorously. Put back over heat and bring to a full boil again. Set aside to cool until lukewarm (about 20 min).

Stir in powdered sugar and beat until smooth and cool enough to spread. Add milk if too stiff.
