Frosting

• 8

  Melt and heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it is golden brown in color (be careful not to burn), about 5 minutes.

  Turn heat to low. Add and whisk in powdered sugar and cream until well blended and sugar is dissolved.

• 10

  Remove pan from the heat; add vanilla and stir mixture for about three minutes.

• 11

  Place the frosting in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the frosting is cool and thick. If frosting thickens too much, add another Tablespoon cream.
