Recipe: Quick Caramel Icing
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hour 30 min
Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) pure unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter and brown sugar and cook over a slightly higher than medium fire, until mixture begins to boil. This will take anywhere from 2 to 4 minutes depending on your stove. Once it begins to boil, slowly whisk in the half and half until well blended. Bring back just to a boil, turn the burner to low, remove the saucepan from the heat, add the powdered sugar and vanilla and blend. Return the saucepan to the burner and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Icing will get stiff quickly so you'll need to immediately pour over cake and allow it to set.
