Print: Burnt Butter Frosting

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.
