Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 4 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 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.

Step 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.
