1 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (approximate)

 

Melt butter in pan.  Add brown sugar and salt.  Mix well, and let cook about 1 minute.  Add milk and bring to boil; boil about 1/2 minute.  Remove from heat and add vanilla.  Mix in sifted powdered sugar to desired thickness.  Add small amount of cream or milk if icing gets too hard.

 

*Note:  This icing should not be beaten because it will harden too fast.  If it seems too thin, you may add an additional amount of powdered sugar.  Stir in gently with a wisk.  It can be poured onto a hot cake.  Spread it on the sides with a knife as you pour.  Believe me, it will set up very well.
