Burnt Butter Frosting

This is one of my favorite frosting recipes. It has a flavor unlike anything I have ever tasted. My husband does NOT like cakes at all. However, he will devour cake if it is topped with this. Very unique and hard to forget this flavor! I always like it on a yellow or white cake (9x13 inch size).

Burnt Butter Frosting

INGREDIENTS:

- 1/2 cup butter

- 4 cups powdered sugar

- 4 Tbsp. milk

- 1 tsp. vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS: Place the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter is a nice tan color. If it gets dark brown or black you have allowed it to burn too long. When the butter has been "burned" remove the saucepan from heat. Slowly pour the powdered sugar and vanilla into the saucepan and beat on high until light and fluffy. Beat in the milk a tablespoon at a time until desired spreading consistency is achieved. Quickly spread onto the prepared cake, as this frosting will set up quickly.
