This unusual frosting recipe is made with burnt butter. It is excellent on yellow cakes, and I always get rave reviews. Don't be tempted to substitute margarine for butter in this recipe.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons milk
Instructions
-
1
Place butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter has "burned" and turned a nice tan color. Remove the saucepan from heat.

2
Slowly mix in confectioners' sugar and vanilla, beating with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired spreading consistency is reached. Use frosting immediately, as frosting will set up quickly.
