Well I read an article about carmelizing butter, and I thought; that would probably make really good frosting. Since I seem to be hung up on anything caramel I wanted to try it. So I adapted Mom's decorator's icing into this....wonderful caramelized frosting!!! I put it on a Spice Cake to take to Aunt Thelma for her birthday tomorrow!!
CARAMELIZED FROSTING
Place 1/2 c. butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until it starts to bubble. When it is bubbling really good lower the heat a little more. Continue to cook and stir and watch really closely, until it turns golden brown and sends off a caramel aroma; that is when you know it is done. Remove from heat.
Place in mixer bowl:
4 c. powdered sugar
1/4 t. salt
1/3 c. cream or milk
2 t. vanilla
Pour caramelized butter over the top and turn on the mixer. Beat well and add more milk or powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached.
