Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
Instructions
Instructions
- Melt the butter and brown sugar together over low heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the milk and heat just until the mixture boils again. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
- Mix in powdered sugar until smooth. (I find using a whisk or hand mixer really helps to get it nice and smooth.)
Notes
Use the icing while it is still spreadable; it thickens as it cools.
