Caramel Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup evaporated skim milk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine
• 2 teaspoons light-colored corn syrup
• Dash of salt
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 teaspoons evaporated skim milk (optional)

Preparation

1. Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until thick and golden brown. Remove from heat. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and beat at medium speed of a mixer until smooth and slightly warm. Add milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time for a more spreadable consistency, if needed.
